No. Why should I stop using certain words that I have the freedom of speech to use.
We need to ban being offended by free speech.

Unfortunately, that would go against freedom of speech. |

That violates Freedom of speech. I do think, however, everyone(including blacks) should stop using it. Just causes too many conflicts. We need to find what unites us rather than divides us. |

I do not condone its use, but banning any word is an extreme violation of the First Amendment.
The funny thing is, the people in the Black community are the ones that use it like a comma. Most all "Gangsta Rap" contains mega use of it.
So, if a law was enacted... who is gonna get charged with it the most? Exactly, Blacks!
On more attempt but the poverty pimps to hold their own people down. |

Yes!! for the two main reasons; the nword represents the harsh and cruel period of slavery and also, under the hate crime laws this cruel word should be considered a form of criminal hatred. as far as the first amendment goes, i really don't see how using such a historically demeaning and hateful "word" violates the first.this is why we now have laws against hate. slaves were subjected to this harsh slur 24-7 and if not for this reason alone it should be considered a hate crime. of course people are going to still say it so realistically; it would never be banned. |

Do you really think you're going to stop all of those African Americans from using it? I don't, they take pride in calling each other that. |

If we ban the N word, then we would have to ban every derogatory word used for other ethic races. If that happens then what other words would the gov. come up with to ban. We need to keep our speech free! |

No. Free Speech, remember? Besides, we would have to ban all racist speech, not just one word. |

No, beside the obvious freedom of speech it makes recognising people for what they are when they do use it pretty easy. |

Well, in the USA we have freedom of speech, and I don't want any of my freedoms taken away from me. Black people claim that this word is very bad and that white people don't understand the connotation of this word. If this is true, then why do some black people call each other the n word? I understand that words can be very hurtful, but only as much as we allow them to. |
