Okay.. let me put it this way then.
Think about modern racial issues in America. What is the NATURE of the issues?
It's not hate.. it's a lack of understanding.
Black communities share a different culture and heritage than white communities or Hispanic communities or Asian communities.. we're all a blend of beautiful differences.
When a white cop shoots an unarmed black man it's out of fear or hate.. but stemmed from a lack of understanding.
In the black community, men use the "n-word" as a term of endearment. After years of disparaging use of the word, the black community has taken the word into their culture, owned it, re-invented it, and use it everyday.
Now, I can't even type the word in this comment or Periscope will delete it. I can't even put the word in quotations to show that Im using the word just to spell it out so we all know what's being said.
In reality, if I say : "Someone said (input n-word)" then MY use of the n-word isn't the intended use. It's an observation of which word was being used. The definition of "the n-word" in that context would be: the word which was heard being used. There's nothing wrong with it.
In college, I was faced with the scenario where I stated the "n-word" with the "er" even.. but because how I used it, it was acceptable enough. It was a report on American history, and that part was to shed light on the origin of the word in response to people who said it meant "an ignorant person". I had to use the word to explain its origin (French creole people mispronouncing the word negro).
Back to the point: There is a whole culture of people who use the n-word so interchangeably and commonly, that to take away the word because it's something that only they can be offended by seems irrational.
people are weak
