The N***** Word


My Question to you is how do you feel about people using the N***** word. Obviously this word had turned into a popular slang word. I tend to disagree. Whats your take?

nig·ger:

1. a. Used as a disparaging term for a Black person: "You can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world calls a nigger" James Baldwin.

b. Used as a disparaging term for a member of any dark-skinned people.

2. Used as a disparaging term for a member of any socially, economically, or politically deprived group of people: "Gun owners are the new niggers . . . of society" John Aquilino.

I feel like people can communicate effectively without calling each other the "N" word. In my opinion, it just isn't necessary.
