"you're my nigger, man." look, what... in every group, there are words that you use, there are inflections, there is knowledge about what a word means to you or to me or... how i mean it when i say it, that is not an insult. i think one of the things that offends white people about it is that they can't say it. they say, "well, is it because of my inflection, or is it because..." it's... no, because it's... because you're not us. jeff foxworthy says, you know, "you can't make jokes about a redneck unless y
