&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;
Its origins have been discussed, debated, and dialoged for hundreds of years and still – to this day – there has been no clear resolution on what it truly means.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;
Perhaps that is because the word has come to mean so many different things to so many different people. Furthermore, the word seems to evolve and meld to the "host" much like a virus adjusting to a vaccine.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;
KRS-One recently talked about the topic of the N-Word, a term that we at AllHipHop.com refrain from using. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Still, we couldn’t help but relate to the eloquence and fresh look that the Bronx-bred rapper offered via this online video.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
