So I liken it to like the poor child who is developmentally challenged, that others call "retard." The child calls himself a retard, because he just doesn't realize it is a negative word, term. Certainly that wouldn't suggest that everyone should just go along with using that word, does it?
The '*****' word, as noted above, is a negative one, an abusive term. I hope all of you who are proud of it, will one day be able to think of yourself in a respectable manner.
But just like any other negative, abusive term used here at PC, I won't condone it.
TC!
