I would say it really only effects famous people or public figures because the world likes to be in a frinzy. But any other time i think its pretty okay just don’t say it to a black person lol.

@TuxedoMask But it’s okay to say it behind their backs ?

It’s a word, just a word. I wouldn’t say it behind their backs or say it their face because i don’t use it as a noun, when I personally use it, it’s a verb. The world isnt ready to drop every word in the vocabulary that one time ment something mean, then i shouldn’t go out of my way to stop saying it. Even if i did, it wouldn’t stop me saying other slures. And i don’t know me saying to my friends or family and not having a black person around all at, i don’t know how i am hurting anyone.

@TuxedoMask Of course it’s “just a word” to you. But we use [b]words[/b] to communicate. I’m scared to imagine how you would use that as a verb. It still has racist connotations either way. If you don’t get that it would be a waste of time trying to explain it to you.

We live our live on morals, not talking about a crimes. But the face values of morals is what makes opinions and what makes eachother different. We all know animals get tortured when we eat mean, but we don’t care and still eat it, because that is our morals. But we are still seen as good people. Same with slurs, it’s just a word. Just because i say the n word or anyword doesn’t make i hate a race (witch is the definition of racism) and it doenst mean I’m a bad person because it’s just my morals. Plus words DO loose their values over time. Take the C world for example it was a terrible word to say not that long ago and now it's been used so many times in a different context it means something else and isn’t seen as bad.

@TuxedoMask That actually is another word that is inappropriate to use if you have any respect for women. Just because some people tolerate being disrespected doesn’t change that fact.

@TuxedoMask I think you have a good point of view, it's just not realistic. Yes, it's just a word but that word held a lot of weight not too long ago. It's a great idea and concept to ask a group of people to move on and just think of it as a word but it's not reality. A lot of people are still not over the history associated with it. It's a good think you don't use it in front of black people, they'll probably jump you 😂.
