Amazingly, use of the "N" word will get you banned on this forum.

As well it should.

Us good "white" conservatives consider the word offensive.....

It IS offensive.

It IS offensive.

Agreed. I was taught to never use it, apparently all things change. Nigga is now OK. Ebonics and patents overcome common sense and good manners.

And yes, I expect this thread to be pulled....

I'm not in the least bit offended by the N word, its use on this forum or anywhere.

The mothers outside my window yell it at their children, the children yell it at each other, the cop at the bank on the corner yells it to the school bus driver stopped in front of the bank. I may not use it, but is far from offensive.

Rather, it has come to be an icon for the unworthiness of the entire black separatist movement: the symbol of hatred and racism they profess to despise is actually one their favorite terms.

I like its expanding use and hope it continues. Someday, the N word will have the emotional power of Honkie or Cracker and we can be done with it.
