"Splib" redux

Actually, it's a list of some other words that all, like "splib" can be
neutrally applied to any random black male:

scobe  scoby  scoby-doe  boot  shoe  shooby  shooby-doo  shooby-dooby
shade  stud  hard-leg  blood  blood-brother  bruh  bro  cat  head
hard-head  niggro  nigger brother  soul-brother  soul-man  mot  yo'
folk  my people

"Stud" and "cat" are sufficiently neutral as to be applicable to white
males as in "white stud" and "white cat." Note also that "stud" is also
as totally neutral as standard "guy" wrt any abilities as "cockhound."
"assmaster," or "player."

I've also noticed that, judging from movies and TV - The Chappelle Show
being one case in point - it's becoming possible to use "nigger" to
refer neutrally to a white male, just as it can be used to refer
neutrally to a black male.
