n****er means shiftless and lazy.
Its actually not a racist word, people just happen to use it in racist ways, and if we ban it, people won't care, they'll say it anyway.
Its just a word. Plus, if we ban n****er we'll have to ban a bunch of other racist words, like porch monkey, and stuff. Then gays will want f****t banned, and "small people" will want midget banned, and Spanish/Mexicans etc, will want Spick[sp?] banned.

you're cool for doing that. thanks. thumbsup.gif

most of us answered what the topic asked, and even more, most went into a discussion about it, so do not try and tell us we have a lack of reading comprehension or whatever else you are saying.


Umm... that's not tru for majority of them ad even if you did discuss it, it was already discussed previously and the points were settled. So again, if you read where it was settled, then you didn't comprehend effectively. Otherwise, you wouldn't restate resolved arguments.

Thanks for defining it for us. I think that'll help a lot now. However, that is a new definition. But, Im pretty sure that isn't what it meant in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

However, Please read comments before posting. Many of us have addressed the whole "its just a word and if you ban it you gotta ban other words as well" thing whistling.gif . Just read a little so you don't sound ignorant okay? thumbsup.gif

Alright smartass, but that is the definition, so people can and more than likely do use it racially, but that does not make it a racist word, therefore it shouldn't be banned. And if we banned it, how would African Americans refer to there friends?

Oh and thanks thumbsup.gif maybe later you can teach me how to be ignorant.
You can't tell people what to do, so stfu.

The majority DID answer the question though, and she said most of us answered it OR (thats the main word) went into discussion about it. I know everyone answered it, even if they didn't say "Yes" or "No" they still said enough to let you know if they think it should or not.
