i guess you dont do too much work with the african-canadain community... or the jamaican-canadian, or caribean-canadian, etc... these sects exist within many communities...

i've worked on several black candain history projects including a national touring exhibit, and when i questioned several of the participants they all agreed that they dont give a fuck what people call them as long as it isnt "coloured"... they also explained that the use of the word nigger is a take back, therefore desensitizing the word by overusing it... but like TGB says, nigger was NOT part of their daily vocabulary...
