Do you think this word is offensive, yes or no? Feel free to explain your opinion, logically.
I see nothing wrong with the word and think it should be used openly in any part of the world without repercussion. Being offended by the word only gives it power.
The double standard that African Americans can use the word freely, but anyone of any other race (especially Caucasian) can not truly bothers me. There should either be no exceptions, or no retaliation. Both would be nice.
Lastly, I find it ironic that when I call someone a ******, most immediately claim me to be racist. Thus proving they truly do fit the definition of a ******. The irony in that amuses me.
Thoughts?
