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

[Tomates]

lol@the arugument between Natilie and BamBamBoogie.

lol at the fact he/she cant support his/her own topics too well

lol. You're quite stubborn. I really don't care if anyone agrees with me. I still sleep quite well at night. Im not going to continue to argue with you either. I tried to end this debate in a respectful way, but you obviously don't want to do that. So... later.

and btw I said spell check before you did an edit.

Im aware im stubborn, but its better to let my opinion go out then for it to not be heard. Im glad you sleep well at night though i have no f*cking idea what that has to do with this. I wouldnt call this an argue because i dont have anything agaisnt you, its more like a heavy discussion because thats what debates tend to be, heavy discussions. The risk you take of making a debate is for seeing others posts that you may not agree with. Respectful or not respectul, this post had it coming. Sooner or later someone would roll by sitting in my position now.

lol at the fact she cant support her own topics too well

um... Im a guy.

[Tomates]

um... Im a guy.

my bad, thats why i changed it right after to he/she because i had a feeling you might be a guy but wasnt positive.

[Amaranthus]

You're entitled to your opinion.
Hmm... I don't recall saying that. Can you read?

It's a f*cking generalization, can you infer?

[manic]

How easy is it to make a word go? It is a word and it has a definition, what can you do about it when referring to resources or reading a book without seeming silly?

I don't see how banning the word would have a positive impact. Its true that any body can make a memorial, or work to get a bill passed, and etc. if they are passionate enough. If someone wants to waste time and energy trying to ban the word and finding people to support them . . . that is on them. It shouldn't be too hard, right? I mean look at the feedback in this thread!

Then gays will want f****t banned, and "small people" will want midget banned, and Spanish/Mexicans etc, will want Spick[sp?] banned.

yeah, bitch!

[karmakiller]

lol, I don't think anyone took this thread seriously, yet the replies were enough to make him want to quit debating the topic.

[misoshiru]

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

me too. but i just waste my time reading the last five.

[ScArFaCeLaDii]

You do know black people can be racist too, right?
So if the N word is banned, then so should Cracker and all of the other white racist terms.
And plus, cops aren't gonna come rolling up the second you say it for christ sake. You can't freaking ban a word. People can say whatever they want.
Oh and there are TONS of other racist words for black people, so uh, why are you just focusing on the N word? jeeeze. Stupid question.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

HEY OP! NIGGER!

Not only should n****er not be banned, but it should not be censored, and it should not regarded as profanity.

Banning n****er isn't going to end racism at all. People will just start saying rope-fillers.

My mom told me today that "sin" was taken out of the dictionary. I dont know if thats true but if it is, I have no idea why they would do that.

Since the dictionary is just a holder of all words, why should any words be taken out of it? No matter how mean or offensive that word is, it is still a word. And, people interpret and think of words differently, so why should it be up to these dictionary-people to take out words people will say anyway?

[firechild]

Why ban something that can just be looked at differently, some people think the N word is racist, some don't.

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.

^its stick btw^

feminests will want "slut" banned

[superstitious]

Words shouldn't be banned. People who take words too seriously should be banned.

[SuckDickNSaveLiv...]

No they aren't, what are you talking about?

[dosomethin888]

Well said, well said.

Hell no it shouldn't censorship is bullshit. That's not to say everyone and their dad should be freely using every word they think of, but with discretion censorship is bullshit.

[firechild]

To any person you ask the N word either is racist or a term of collective brotherhood.

[creole]

i think it shouldn't be banned, but don't you think its rude to say that type of word in public?

ppl just say the "N" word at a friendly child place? srsly

[BamBamBoogie]

Wow, after all this time, even after I 'quit' debating this topic, people still havn't read the previous posts and are saying the same dumb shit like 'its just a word' lol. This is quite amusing.

How else is snoop dog suppose to make his lyrics? Or how is Kat Williams suppose to do his shows?

1. If Snoop is unable to find other words in his vocabulary to use other than the n-word than maybe he shouldn't be worried about rapping. It would be in his best interest to go hit the books and learn a few more appropriate words.

2. Although Katt Williams is one funny dude, he is unfortunately in a 'mental institution.' Not sure if that's what it's called, but you get my point. Anyway, he won't be saying that on standup anytime soon.

No they aren't, what are you talking about?

Blacks are capable of being racist, as well as other races. If you look at the definition of racist, you will see this.



And to close, it seems as though a lot of you think that I am trying to display Blacks as being innocent, non-racist, victimized people. I am NOT doing this at all. I wish there was a way to rid our world of all of the offensive slurs that are used everyday, but as many of you have said, this is not possible. Of course there is no way of 'banning' a word, and I have already addressed that before. My whole point for making this thread was to raise awareness of how each of us have certain characteristics that may prevent the country and/or world from progressing foward such as racism, prejudices, biases, etc. We all are different, but we are also the same in many ways. Rather than looking at someone with unique qualities as being weird, look at those differences as blessings that could be used to help someone else who may not have that quality. I hope you all understand my point now.

You should always respect on how people say their debate. No matter how "dull, dumb, funny, and lame" it is.

Oh really? I'm going to start looking at lots of online dictionaries to see if your statement is true.

Obviously, it is your choice to be "racist" or not. Just know, your words can hurt other people. Like if a white guy calls a black guy "N*GG**"? Then, there would be violence. Or if the person who was offended was smart, they would ignore it or walk off. Similar to how we have a choice or not to click on this link and read this topic.

No one still has not gave a good reason for it to stay and it should therefore be given the boot.

cause you know, the first amendment is one shitty ass reason

umm... I've already addressed that.

Exactly, which proves my point that all races can be racist.
