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.

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.

I know where your coming from and i know its a very insulting word. Your responses dont make sense at all what so ever.

Please explain how that makes any sense. It doesnt at all and all of your responses have almost been like that which means you dont know how to fight your own argument or your not really understanding/reading what others are trying to say.

Like i said above before, im aware its insulting but your going to have to face it, people are still going to say the word and abuse it even if its banned and if "it wont be seen as an actual word" People will still know what it means which wont make anything different.

Wow, just read the last two pages. This is stupid.

You're entitled to your opinion.

again what the hell? Are you even reading the responses? or understanding them? Your answer makes no sense at all to him
