I've always sat on the fence whenever a debate occurs, this time will be no different. And will only pick a side when both parties present their cases, as ReasonAndPearls said.

Everyone's having a hissy fit about the n-word, and that is pretty understandable as it is racially offensive. But let's learn more about it, shall we?

Text Below Contains Offensive Words

The text below is done for informational purposes and is not meant to be in any shape or form, offensive.

The term began as the word negro, used by spanish and portugese men to call the dark skinned people on the lands they visited; negro transates to black in english from spanish and portugese langguage, which came from the ancient latin word niger meaning black. Back then, the word had no weight, it was used solely to describe a person of color. By the 17th century, the word was changed, it became from negro to nigger which was intentionally created to be a pejorative word. It became a word of description to a word of derogation of a race. Ever since then it has never been able to loose that weight, even words such as negro and black have become no longer being appropriate, as those words are now considered somewhat racist, the politically correct ter now is colored. The word has been stigmatized to become offensive even from the mouths of people it was aimed at. It is, and it seems for a longer time, an offensive racial slur not to be used so freely by ANYONE, without experiencing some kind of backlash from the general populace.
