The euphemism us white normally use out of respect and acceptance of the African american culture. The word (out of respect I shall not type) , originated from America's old times to when slaves were prevalent and eventually became an honorable tribute to those oppressed during such times. This was the word whites used for the African-Americans, but as time went on it became a greeting from one black to another. When they accepted the word, it not only redefined the word, it was also symbolic to how they took the minimal things whites gave them (insults) and made them much greater. The euphemism is used mostly for the respect for the harsh history of blacks, but other white refused to think deeper about the word's importance to the black culture and questioned why it is socially wrong for them to use the word, though every time the whites used the word were either in response to being told not to say it or just as insults, while the blacks used it as greeting. I, as a white man, respect and honor the word and it's history with the United States and thus I understand the difference of who's mouth the word came from.
