I find it disgusting when people say that word. Nobody should ever say it. If someone says it, they should be forced to take a racial awareness class kind of like how when police give people driving tickets, they have to go to traffic school. If they keep on saying it, they should seriously go to prison. The word is disgusting and is on the level of child pornography. By saying the word, people show how ignorant they are and how they don't care about past injustices while sticking to the status quo. I have no other words other than how it is disgusting.

I think there should be an exception for the 'n' word. That word is more than just a word. It is a symbol of abuse and oppression. That word enforces a negative status quo. It gives undeniable power to those that use it. It's evil.

No. It's a bad word. Off topic, but it's terrible how many racists are on these boards.

So you're in favor of arresting/fining the hundreds of thousands of black people and hip hop artists who say this "evil word" daily? If this word is evil, it's evil, right?

As much as I don't like the word ironically and not, it should not be a crime to say it. That is just asking for censorship that flies in the face of the first amendment.

Black people have the right to say it. They were the ones that were dealt the abuse of the word. They have the right to do whatever with the word.

I know this is an ass tier troll topic, but as someone who grew up in Boston, you would just have to nuke New England. Like, holy shit, most of the times it's used back home it has absolutely nothing to do with black people. It's like the C word, it's used so much that it has an entirely different meaning up there.

*As a special note, I recognize that not ALL of New England, nor all people from Boston, use those words on a regular basis or with the 'changed meaning' I described. I also recognize that just because the word is used differently back there, that doesn't make it okay to use it and fall back on that as an excuse for being racist.*

Same in NYC. Especially the hoods (which is not just black people). They look at you funny if you're not using the word while everyone around you is.

Man, I live out in Utah now(because I make poor choices) so I don't really say it anymore, and last time I went home I went to a party and the guys I was hanging out with(ten people or so, half of them black) made fun me so god damn hard the whole night because I wasn't dropping N and C bombs every third word like I used too when we were younger. It was hell, I haven't been roasted that hard since I got drunk and fucked a butter face in high school.

I've always found it interesting how different areas have different meanings for words. Where I grew up, you drop an N bomb and nobody thinks "black people", they think "dumbass". Just like the C bomb isn't "female", it's "a complete piece of shit".
