I am tired of seeing the phrase “N-word” and solely the phrase “N-word” in stories about someone uttering or attempting to ban the word “nigger.” Like the word or not, a newspaper is supposed to report—not dance around a topic. What’s next? “Yul Brenner died after a long battle with the Big C. The Big C claims xx number of lives a year.”
I think your n-word/c-word analogy has a deeper meaning for you ;-)
