I'm not Black but I have found that the use of the "N" word is too prevalent in this society. I hate it bad! I think it is used for the wrong things too many times? Don't use it at all! Or its spread is easily done nonchalantly through slang, TV, books, and music mediums. Y'all know what I'm talking about? The word STINKS! It is not a beautiful or meaningful word. Stick to using "brother," "homie or holmes," "bro," "cuz," or YOUR GIVEN name! I think it brings down good honest Black people -in the eyes of haters- and everyone in their race as a whole if one uses it! It allows hatemongers, racists and W. supremacists to laugh at ignorance be it unintended or not? That word was used by slaveowners and the like back then as a derogatory demeaning, belittling word to describe the African Americans who were enslaved, hung, tortured etc. unjustly-crimes against humanity! Why add to their fire? I know peer pressure to be and act cool IS SO HARD! Come on people, denounce it, educate why it shouldn't be used, and uplift yourselves to yourself and in front of others! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! If your interested in a cool website talking about this, look up www.abolishthenword.com. Enjoy the site! Get educated!!!!!!

Hello Dave, Gentlemanly offer requires two gentlemen(Giver / Receiver)...and, yes, you (without provocation) are being viciously 'tag teamed' by two of the sweetest people in 'real life'. Please continue to voice your opinion. I, for one, am extremely interested in what you've been writing and find it refreshing! Choose, however, not to stoop. Bickering , AFTER you have made a valid and comprehensible point regarding a particular blog, is never a good look for a Gentleman or a Lady. Sometimes, you just have to 'set it...and forget it'.

you just might be looking through a glass darkly..... the possibility of the screenwriters and producers using the term 'Negro' may have been more of a box office attractive move than what was really said... when was the last time you enjoyed harlem or inner city...??? the use of the 'N' word in rap is more of an 'in your face' lyric, that on one hand says, 'we can and you can't say it' as well as metaphorical symbol of what allowed it to become the nasty racist slur that it is and all the blood that birthed it.....it STILL raises hairs on the necks of people, whether it's said by eddie griffin, chris rock, or michael richards... go dig out some redd foxx, richard pryor routines and you just might 'feel' out the underlying agony of their routines.....

have an update on me.... currently playing in the cinemas..."American Gangster".... great great movie/story, even if some theatrical license was taken.... denzel sensational along with russell crowe got their game on.... denzel even looks like frank lucas....
BUT, the point to be made... i found it quite interesting when denzel/frank lucas talked to his family, he used the term 'Negro' as opposed to what might have been used in the real moments... directorial decisions...??? Lucas himself in post film interviews was 'keeping it tight' on any in depth questions....jersey police said the story line was way off... still a great piece of work... quite the entrepreneur for a 'street' business....
ok.... lets fade to part II...Duane "Dog" Chapman... yup you gottit... the now infamous 'Bounty Hunter'.... having a bad day...??? i think not... more like having a bad life... an accident waiting to happen... a short fuse already lit...as if the producers and the execs upstairs didn't have a clue... YA THINK...?!?!?! the other bounty hunters were too bland for the suits.. the expression 'inappropriate behaviour' is way TOO good for him, & wifey too... how much ya wanna bet what wasn't on the phone call is on the cutting room floor...??? animal abuse just might be sanctioned in this case... WOOF...!!!

Very, very good! Well it's about 1 year since your post.........looks like some progress has actually been made in the right direction. TY so much for telling the truth about what the word means to white people.......as it has a completely different one to us blacks. You obviously 'get it' and correctly spelled it out here!! I applaud your post!

I do not think this word should be banned. This is America. We all have the right to use any word we want. However using our good judgement we should not us it.
it would appear that your post contradicts itself........ regardless... the more we distance ourselves from cultural/social traumas the less sensitive we become to the event itself... ergo.... let the 'N' word ring from ear to ear... Hitler was having a bad day... slavery, Holocaust, ethnic cleansing, the Crusades, ad infinitum.... the 'N' word was, is, has become reflective of the deepest darkest side of humanity's own death wish to wipe his own species out of existence... the 'N' word is NOT freedom of speech... it's a death knell of mankind, a rope with a noose on one end, the other over a beam or tied to the end of a bumper, it's a can of fuel that became the last shower, it's an oven where the food stays on the outside, it's a Coliseum where thousands watched the cats win....it's a bunch of rocks that did hit their target and it stopped breathing.... and yes... it's in the music where it's supposedly glorified, but if you ARE really from the hood then you would understand that the 'N' word is part of man's 'Hehll'(intent.) upon himself where no one wants to go back to, or wants to see it happen again....
ban is an underarm deodor_rant, banning is using it.....
"A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke." so understated...... ONLY...???
by the way, while y'all are extolling the virtues of free speach and generational wisdom, the pic is NOT my mom, but she could be..... Rosa Parks....

ONLY TODAYS GENERATION CAN "AFFECTIVELY" BAN,LIMIT, OR DE-FANG THE "N",,,,LIKE IT OR NOT.
arguably and maybe so..... but it is still a grim reminder for those with a penchant and memory of history and lineage of what it really stands for.... the realm of hate for part of humanity....... and a big part at that.....
I would also suggest, with all due respect, by your own choice of words, that if the current generation generalizes the use of the 'N' word, generally speaking, then effectively it would tend to reduce a good quantity of the level of racism associated with it... one would tend to believe there would no question of NOT liking that....

THE "N" WORD IS A GENERATIONAL THING, SO THATS WHAT MAKES IT SO HARD TO DEAL WITH IT.

I think the words of the late great Godfather of Soul James Brown said it best when he wondered WHY young black men are calling each other this name?? More so than white people. I've heard it more from young black males to each other than anywhere. So..........clean it up.
