I think that everyone should THINK before posting. Thanks.

i think it's just a word...
even african americans use it with eachother as a sign of friendship or used as a pronoun to represent a guy (sometimes grl)
even tho it should no longer be thought of as a racist word towards blacks it still does. But if the english language does rid of it, they have to rid of "cracker" "s**c" and any other racial slur

I agree that the other words should be banned. I dont think blacks should call each other the "n" word either. Many say its a word for friendship. Yea? Well let's see Caucasion or any other race call an african-american the "n" word. I guarantee they will feel offended and react very unfriendly. The same thing goes for "cracker" and any other offensive racial words. If you want a word to call each other as friends, make a new one, don't just try to change a previously offensive word to a friendly word. If that was the case we might as well call each other assholes to be friendly.

no it should not be banned. we don't ban other words, why ban it. besides it's not going to stop anyone from saying it.....

Murder is banned. People still do it. Should we make that okay just because people keep doing it?

what the hell does that even mean? It's already regarded as profanity.

Actually, its still regarded as a word. Research may come in handy for this topic.
