Some use the N word directed towards blacks the same way someone may use the C word directed towards women. Like some comedian said it is the "A-Bomb of adjectives".

It's not just a word, the sentiment is one of derision and hate. One can let it slide like water off a ducks back all day long, but that does not change the intent. To me, it's all about context. No offense to ducks.



Speeding is not a crime when you are on the way to the hospital b/c your pancreas is in the passenger seat. CONTEXT IS THE KEY, NOT THE WORD.
