i not sure about this. i think it's hypocritical and divisive. it's not a term which is used in the black community in britain anyway. but imagine you have a really close friend who says it, then prohibits you from saying it (this happened to me once -- not that i particularly wanted to say it... but it was made quite clear that i wasn't allowed to). dosen't that create division in your friendship? extend that to a whole community/country and you create a massive divide. don't you?
