Makes sense.
I guess I see a difference between that and the N-Word. While rappers continue to use the word, we don't see shows called "Nigger Tales" or "Life Being a Nigger." It would seem rather insulting. But I get your point in how they are re-claiming this word and taking what was a bad thing, making it a "fun" thing, if you will.
