The N Word

I hate it when someone calls me a Nigger, especially when that someone is an African American to whom the word should be more hurtful. However, I notice that African Americans call each other by that word and do not seem to take offense when they use it among themselves. However I still cannot take it from anyone.
Let's be blunt. Nigger means lynching. It means hundreds of white people, including children, gathered to watch a black man, a human being, dragged, beaten, hung from a tree and cooked alive. It means grinding poverty. Today -- not 30 years ago, but today -- blacks are disproportionately poor, hungry and die of illnesses which do not kill whites. This is true all across planet earth and all over the United States. It means police harassment and brutality. Being pulled over by the police for lesser, or no transgressions; being shot 41 times after going for your wallet; it means a toilet plunger; it means a disproportionate number of black people arrested, convicted and imprisoned.
This is the America of today. Am I happy to live in this environment? Of course not but I come from a place where things are worse. Here, at least my wits can allow me to go some distance before I am stopped and harassed. In South Africa I had to flee to save my skin. Can things get worse than described above?
The answer is an emphatic yes! America is on the brink of a very violent revolution. The ordinary redneck is armed to the tooth, thanks to the National Rifle Association. The KKK is resurgent. Racism is rampant while the law claims to have proscribed it. Apologists of the racist system point to the appearance of black faces in formerly all white positions in society. These appearances have never been more misleading. White racism is arming at an alarming rate. Call me an alarmist if you wish. What alarms me most is the lackadaisical manner in which our people are responding to this situation.
Should we arm ourselves given this situation? My answer is an emphatic NO! because no one is going to win following this carnage. This is bound to be a very bloody affair as several groups are gradually collecting massive arsenals that will be unleashed to an unsuspecting world.
Let us hope this prognosis is wrong.
