What’s up with the N Word? Who can say it? Who can’t? And Why?

The N-Word packs a huge punch. Historically, it was a derogatory term used against the African American race. But many black people now use it as a term of endearment, just look at Hip Hop culture. Is the current use of this controversial word blurring the lines?
