I think a lot of the problem is that people just don't know any better. This is a word that was not used in my home often so it never became a part of my vocab. But many people grow up hearing it said by every single person they know. I'm not saying it's ok, but how are they supposed to know it's wrong if no one is telling them? We need to continue to try to teach each other, especially our youth, to show more respect for ourselves and each other and that the "N" word is degrading and when you say it makes you sound ignorant, especially when "others" are around. Now you can't reach everybody because we all know some folks could care less. People are going to do what they are going to do. But that shouldn't stop us from trying to make a differance where we can.
