If you were to ban the "n" word, you would have to ban all the other words that have negative connotation. A word doesn't create racism anymore than a plaque causes someone to have an emotional attachment to a location that is important to history. Sure, the tone and delivery of the word implies if the person saying it is saying it to harmful and hurtful. (I, personally, don't think there is any positive way to use the word.)
Why should we not be censored? In Nazi Germany Hitler burned books and dictated what civilians could and could not say. They were locked off from progressing as a nation. If the government starts to ban words, they are no better. I think that we need to learn how to progress and move forward. You should spend more of your time working to stop hate crimes than ban a word. If the word is taken away, the hate is still there. It gets us nowhere. |
