28. It saddens me greatly...
...to see any historical minority member, adopting terms of oppression to describe themselves, their sisters and brethren....in any context whatsoever.

Quote:
To me this means that there is no more excuses for being niggers or behaving in a niggerish way

It's equally unfortunate, (in my opinion)that it was shared here with a sense of pride in the person's words(and implied intent). Here, being a forum where quite a few have worked diligently to teach the unaware, that people of color deserve better than to be referred to (on any level) by terms of oppression.

:(
