Is it okay to use the N word and the F word (faggot) if it's done in a playful/non-hateful manner?

Poll question: Is it okay to use the N word and the F word (faggot) if it's done in a playful/non-hateful manner?

It's no secret **some** Black/African-Americans casually use the N word while referring to other members of their race -- just as **some** gays and lesbians use the F word (fag/faggot) word in the same manner.

I'm curious.

Do you think this is inappropriate behavior since these words are used as slurs by bigots?

Or do you think these minority groups should have license to use these words freely?

Or do you think it depends?

I'm not trying to turn this into an angry thread.

I'm just trying to figure out, actually, if people think the F word is less offensive than the N word or vice versa.
