Parkins can say it too though if his black friend is around. He has permission.

If black people want to fool themselves into thinking they took "back" the word, fine. It's none of my business but it doesn't mean I have to like it. But what I especially don't like is a limo lib who's wet behind the ears thinking he has permission. The proper response is No Thanks. My family life wasn't all that great growing up and I had a couple black mentors(coaches) that went out of their way to SHOW me the way. I couldn't say the word or any stupid (we took it back)derivative of the word if I tried.
