I think the bigger question is, why is the word still in use at all?

We've been trying to bury the fucker for 40 years now, but it keeps popping back up in Rap and Hip-Hop music.

I understand the premise of "It's OK if I say it", but why would you choose to denigrate yourself in such a way?

If you don't have enough respect for yourself to stop using the term, how can you expect any respect from others?

It makes no sense.
