You're so lucky.

I wish I didn't have to hear that word at my school.

The word was constantly used by my peers and I got sick of it.

I don't hear it at my current school unless we're discussing it in class.

I don't see how Black people could use that word so much.

Niether can I.

What are your thoughts about the "N" word?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

In what context do you want to use it in?

The way that it's used nowadays.

Either way I don't like it, racially or used to each other, that word should not be used to determain a group of people, nor should it be used to insult people, I to got annoyed of hearing it. It should be sent back into the history books and stay there.

Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen.

It's sad that Black people used that word as a "common greeting" because it's a very offensive word.

Regardless of what "new definition" it has, it will always be a very offensive word.

I think it's stupid how Black people could overuse the word until their heart's content, but if a person of a different race says it, he or she has to make a public apology.

I blame that crappy music and those trashy television shows for increasing the popularity and usage of the "N" word.

So do I, If they are allowed to say then in all rights others should be able to use it, you can't have things that belong to just one person or a race, if one person has something then so should everyone else, I do not care for this New definition to me it will always be an offensive crude word, that splits's the world further.

I just wish that there was a way to actually get rid of the word.

You know and I know that we cannot, what a deep tragedy it is.

We could erase the word from everybody's memory.

That's never going to happen, though.

Ignorant people will ALWAYS use THAT word among others.

I just wish they would stop.

Even some of the Black people in this forum uses that word.

I won't say any names in particular, but they should really stop.

I know one who you talk about, Sorry VY me and you are powerless, and if we did get rid of it, they would say we took away their freedom of speech.

Well, that "Freedom of Speech" amendment needs to be altered.

I have never heard it said except on TV

Indeed it does VY, I find it to liberal, some things need to be removed from our society and that word is one of them.
