They turned ngger into ngga, so what are you going to do? Ban any word that resembled it? You can't ban words. Society is already banning the word enough as it is.

It's power to upset remains for whenever someone who isn't meant to say it, wants to say it. Its* Soz

Slavery has been abolished, no people who where born today have suffered it, it's disrespectful to your own ancestors to just throw the word around like it's nothing.

Posts: 12,330 Group: Retired Staff Member #6,446 Joined: July 3, 2011 Gender Not Specified Country None	Most people who use terms like that are smart enough to refrain from doing so in a public setting. Banning the word would heavily infringe on our rights with the only benefit of some people refraining from using the word sometimes. Edited by Yu Narukami, Jul 27 2015, 09:53 AM.

No. It's the same thing with Nazi-Flags, Confederate flags, etc. People have free speech, they can say what they want, We all massively agree however that people who fly confederate and Nazi-flags are either stupid or have a brain problem. I have the same thing with people who throw around the word n*gga like it has no problem. People have the right to say stupid things and I have the right to call them stupid just the same. Banning words is practically impossible and the concept by itself it's ridiculous

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Berserk all day erry day	I vote no but the attitude around it needs SERIOUS adjustment. It's ridiculous how crazy people go over it, if a white person says it they're Satan meanwhile rap sits there like "LOOK AT ME! I'M A RACIST TRYING TO BE COOL! LOOK AT ME! I'M A RACIST TRYING TO BE COOL!, LOOK AT ME! I'M A RACIST TRYING TO BE COOL!!" half the time. If people want to use the word they should be less uptight about others using it. The attitude towards the word should be neutral but change depending on the context. If people are saying s* like "you dumb n" then that's bad, there's no reason for the N word to be featured there except to put down a whole race. But someone walking up to their friend like "what's up my LOOK AT ME! I'M A RACIST TRYING TO BE COOL!" is fine, they mean no ill intent There is no way to end racism really, banning words will only raise tensions. The way forward is to not give a s. Sort of like bullying, a bully only goes for you if they get a reaction if you don't give a f** they move on and try to find other potential weaklings. People need to stop being so sensitive and these days that applies to waaaaayyyyy more than just racism.

I'm not saying everybody has to like each other, but the history behind the word packs a serious punch. What would you recommend then? I can certainly say banning words won't help. I'd say ngger should be categorized in the same way as c or d. The only way to end racism is for people's attitudes to change, I doubt banning words will help, not exactly easy to enforce either.

Favourite Manga Family Friendly Version of the Steve Austin Show.	I agree with Pyrus. No word should be banned... Except bossy. #banbossy Also, I think banning words for most but allowing one group of people to use it is a stupid idea. I cannot think of a good scenario to use the word, but the same goes with almost any other swear. We can say all these terrible things but ngger is the one thing we aren't allowed to say? It doesn't make much sense. It's a stupid word, and it's stupid to use in any context, but the idea of banning it is just as stupid, imo. Edited by GrooseStrikesBack*, Jul 27 2015, 06:09 PM.
