I am totally seeing what you are saying and in that way no I wouldnt want it banned but I think they are trying to stop all the hate that comes with the word. I really cant put into words what I am trying to say (you know I suck at that..LOL) While yes that word can be used in good, I never hear it as good. I only hear it used as a hate word. Maybe it depends on where you live? Maybe if it was used as the meaning of the word really means, then no. But I would guess that most of the time it isnt used in that context.
Sorry all to disagree, I really do respect most of your opinions here. I myself just dont think that word has a place in our world anymore. But I guess the best thing to say is I just agree to disagree
Indy, the only thing you write that I don't understand is your insistence that you don't write clearly. And I think most of us agree with you in your evaluation of how the N-word is used.
Some of us believe that the government banning words is a very slippery slope and that a free "marketplace" of words is the better way to combat dangerous speech.
