The N word

I found this article to be very fascinating and factual to where the N word is going in society and how many people view the word. There are so many of us who believe that it should not be used in society and that we need to be as a society very careful on the usage of our language.

I find this interesting because there are so many other words that are just as out there and I believe should not be used out in society. A couple of these that are used quite often are queer and honky. These words seem to be accepted in society when they are not some of the most appropriate expressions that should be used to identify someone. This is why I believe that we all need to be careful and take care of how we use the N word and any other terms to say something about someone because we don't know the affect we will have on the person or on a certain society as a whole if we are not careful in our language usage.

Would you like to have someone say something that was mean and possibly spiteful towards you? I thought not.
