Should The "N" word be banned from the English language? Rating Options

I think that everyone should THINK before posting. Thanks.

Freedom of speech won't be affected by removing the word from the language. They can still say it if the want. It just wont be seen as an actual word.

Bottom line is, taking the word out would be more beneficial than keeping it. No one still has not gave a good reason for it to stay and it should therefore be given the boot.

That didnt make much sense at all. To me what your saying is that they can still use it even though you want to ban it...So then whats the point of banning the word if people can still use it? And people will still see it as a actual word since they have said it for years now. Theres nothing beneficial about taking the word out if people are still going to use it.

This whole thing is ignorant, your statements are ridiculous

Are you clear on what ignorant means? Doesn't sound like it because if you did you would see that this isn't ignorant.

Did you even read my quote?

It's obvious that you can't stop people from saying a word, as many others have said before. But by declaring the "N" word as not a word, in my opinion there is a sort of symbolic meaning about the process. It kinda shows that America is putting thise kinds of things behind us and unity is closer.

I see...

Well maybe you aren't seeing my point clearly and I've tried many times to make it clearer. It doesn't get any clearer than: (1) It will have a symbolic meaning, (2)It does no good to keep it.

I am seeing your point and im saying that its petty.
How clear do I have to make it now?

Well petty means to not be important. So are you saying that this isn't important?

Now maybe your whole reason for not seeing it as important is because you have no idea where I am coming from with this topic, or maybe the word doesn't affect you. I have many family members who have been verbally abused with many words such as this one. We consider it to be offensive because we are on the recieving end of it. However, many people see it as not so offensive because it is a word that blacks have been called by for years, so nothing should change now. I disagree and therefore believe that we should get rid of the word to show that change can and should happen and we should not accept things as they currently are. As I said before, there is absolutely no good reason for keeping this word.

WTF You make no f*cking sense, no matter how you word your opinion,
Also , you're quite redundant.

"Yeah, because n****er is ignorance and, um, yeah it's symbolic of unity and n****er is ignorant, which means petty, which is what ignorant is, which if you haven't noticed is symbolic of unity."
