Why do some people proudly use words that were once used to insult, degrade, or dehumanize them?

In this first episode of GhettOver It, we explore the history, evolution, and modern use of two of the most controversial words in the English language: the N-word and bitch.

We'll examine:

• The origins and historical use of both words

• How these words evolved over time

• Why some communities choose to reclaim them

• Why others reject their use entirely

• The role language plays in identity, culture, belonging, and self-perception

• Whether a slur ever truly stops being a slur

This episode is not about telling you what to think.

It's about encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and deeper conversations about the words we use and the stories they carry.
