you know why the 'n' word is still around, because people still use it....i dont get why black people use it as a 'buddy' term if they know the roots of it.....seriously, if you stop using the word, it will eventually dull out of speech, almost to a point where it will be completely gone.....and i dont think when when people are using the 'n' word against black people, they are not saying 'shut up you slave to whities'.........in most cases its a slip of the tongue because it is a standard insult of the world now..............if im coming off racist, im not, i dont use that word, i dont care if it menat stupid back in the day, its always disrespectul whenever, its just as bad as calling someone a 'homo' or 'stupid fuck'.........yeah
