I'm sorry but why should this word be banned? Around here black people call each other n****er like they are saying brother to them.
Its just a word, people need to suck it up if they find it offensive. |

I really wish people would read the posts. I clearly said that I understand the word cant be banned and the wording of this topic is off. Now, please continue debating. This is gettin' pretty interesting.

stop double posting. someone come warn him for it already because he keeps doing it and it's f*cking annoying. Yeah, he's an annoying debater. Hopefully he doesn't double post anymore... EDIT BUTTON!and no, i never said no one was racist to whites. but, white people are usually the ones who go around claiming they wouldn't care if someone called them a racial slur. no shit, it's becuase no one really does in any serious form. I agree with you. I mean, I'm white and I get offended when someone calls me a Nazi. I couldn't see how being call the n word would not offend someone. |

I think the word "EGREGIOUS should be taken out of the english language as well. It annoys me, Laymens rarely ever even use it in a sentence and if I hear it, I dont understand it and I take it as disrespect. In fact, I think every word that offends someone in even the smallest way should be banned because do we really need people to feel slightly uncomfortable in this modern world. I think if we as a people take the initiative to ban every disrespectful term we can revert to our original grunts and noises where so no one can be offended. Fucking moron. Turn into a caveman you bastard and leave intelligent people alone.

Im not saying the "n-word" and intelligence are related, Im saying that the idea of banning a word that offends people is retarded and it leads down a road of stupidity. Political correctness is the dumbest idea in the history of civilization, fuck correctness, I'll offend if I fucking want to. BTW, I fucking HATE the "n-word." Not "nigger," I dont give a shit about that. I mean the "n-word." Its just white people getting away with saying nigger and all you're doing is avoiding actually saying the word but then putting the word in the listeners head. You say "n-word" and I hear "Nigger" but I dont want to fucking say it, you fucking say it and take some responsibilty you doofus. |

Damn right, this country is getting worse and worse because people are going "ban crazy" every time someone gets offended. Look at how watered down our entertainment is now-a-days. It's crap. In real life people use racial slurs, crack minority jokes, and cuss up the storm all the time. You have all these corny movies and tv shows that aim to be politically correct just to avoid offending everyone or gaining a bad rep in the media... I miss Clint Eastwood back in the day.... *sigh* |

I say hell no, but then again, thats just imo. And also, entertainment is filled with very offensive material that is filled with the bullshit that everyone loves. Perfect examples: Family Guy, South Park, etc. |

Neither Family Guy nor South Park are offensive to anyone sane.
The characters of Family guy talk about sex every once in a while, but other than that, it's just jokes about Garry Coleman. The characters of South Park cuss a good bit, but it's all about current events. Back in the days when South Park was a decent show, it still wasn't very offensive. I remember the best episode they ever had involved Cartman farting a satellite dish. Oh yeah, nigger. |

So you're saying that it is okay if majority of a race is offended by a term used in an entertainment piece as long as it is entertaining to you and/or a select few who agrees with you? I say hell no, but then again, thats just imo. And also, entertainment is filled with very offensive material that is filled with the bullshit that everyone loves. Perfect examples: Family Guy, South Park, etc. That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm simply saying I like my entertainment to be just as realist as life around me. Not some half-hearted watered down bull shit. What would have happened if Ozzy Osbourne said "Nigger" on MTVs reality TV show. They would have cut it out of the program. What if contestants cracked queer jokes on Charlie Herschel in survivor. They'd cut it off the air or crucify whoever said it. Entertainment is not filled with "offensive" material. The only place you can get decent undiluted TV these days is from private television stations (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc...) and BET. Yes, that's right BET. The station where they can say nigger all day long. While they don't characterize all African Americans on BET they certainly characterize the majority of African American citizens living around me. While I hate the programs, at least African Americans have more "freedom" than every other race out there. People are just easily offended. For a program targeting general audience. It takes a show that maintains the soul purpose of being politically incorrect to say words like "nigger", "queer", or other words deemed offensive by the "media". Neither Family Guy nor South Park are offensive to anyone sane. The characters of Family guy talk about sex every once in a while, but other than that, it's just jokes about Garry Coleman. The characters of South Park cuss a good bit, but it's all about current events. Back in the days when South Park was a decent show, it still wasn't very offensive. I remember the best episode they ever had involved Cartman farting a satellite dish. Oh yeah, nigger. Wasn't that the first episode... HOLY SHIT HI JOSH. Hi, Jeremy asked me to post in here so don't get used to my ugly mug. Haha, if you want to talk though. I'll respond to PM's. |

omg. You're stupid. You can't ban a word from a language. You might be able to keep it out of the dictionary, but as it's socially unacceptable and also slang, it probably wouldn't be in there anyway.
Let's see you try and get every one to stop saying n****er. Bet you can't. |
