the teacher said the slur was "a commoditized word" that had been used so many times it no longer held its original meaning.

Although the teacher should have known better than to utter the 'N' word I agree with what he said about the word. I hear white kids call each other this word all the time.

Until the OJ Simpson trial, the N word would be freely identified in news reports. Then they started treating it as an unusable obcenity. I’m just guessing these students got the teacher into some discussion then taped him out of context. Otherwise why were phones recording?

"Why can't you understand that ---- is racist for a white man to say to a black man?"

The idea that whites can't use the same word blacks are allowed to use is also racist.

The word is a trap for Whitey. If he says it he’s fired and arrested. The other day I was next to a car with the n word blasting out the window. The driver was someone who’s allowed to say it.

I have four black adopted kids. When they were young we discussed all sorts of slurs. We said and spoke all the words and I told them that if someone calls them any offensive words that it would tell them a lot about the person that said them, however it has nothing to do with who they are and how to react to it.

Years later one of them called me at home. She had been called the “special word” by someone in her work setting which was in a busy public place.

She dealt with the customer, and the managers and others in the store went all drama. After about five minutes, she said, for Pete’s sake, it is over, I dealt with it, and the “special word” is no big deal. She was pleased that she had the ability not to be determined by words. She told me that.

I date “snowflakes from the time that the “special word” could not be uttered aloud in mixed race company.

So, for a white person to use the n-word in a civil discussion that is specifically about that word, and is clearly not intended to be insulting, constitutes using the word as a racist insult.

Got it.
