I hope ya'll don't mind me posting. If anyone of you do, just ignore me. Ok, I'm white and I hate the word. And I know it has to bother(for lack of a better word)african-americans(or ya'll who refrain from it's use)
10 million times worse than it could ever bother me as a white person. I honestly wanna blow up in someone's face when they use the word around me. And unfortunately, it's use is rampant where I live(as it probably is in many places), and is used by ALMOST everyone I know at some time or another. The one person I know who does not say it is my mother. I honestly cannot stand the "n" word. It drives me up the wall. It's hard to explain to ignorant, naive people why the word shouldn't be used and just makes me cringe. I wish people would get over thereselves(grammer?) and realize it's no way to go through life ignorant. PLEASE move into the 21st century(it is that century, right??). Everyone is equal and should be treated accordingly
I hope my post was okay and you all seem like extremely nice, smart and enlightened people. Ya'll are great
