Your Not Allowed To Say That
The use of the N word is a very taboo one. It is ok if an African American calls another African American that word. If that were to happen some people would not think twice about it, but if say a white person calls an African American the N word it is not okay. Some people act as if the world is coming to an end if that would to happen. Don’t get me wrong I am not racists at all; I actually have a problem with the word being used in general. If you have a problem with the word, you should not use it at all, even if it’s one African American to another. For example I have a huge problem with the word slut. If as a girl I have a problem with guys calling girls slut, I should also not allow girls to call other girls sluts either. Which is what I do, I do not even allow other girls to call me a slut. I think the term in general is very degrading. So if African American have problems with other ethnic groups calling them the N word, maybe they should consider stop using the term themselves.

I think there are alot of words like this in society, and the problems come on an individual basis. Personallly I do not let words, even those like "Nigga" & "Bitch" bother me because I know who I am. There are many others like me out there, but there are also people who take things personally. The thing is, that people like this are not only taking the word personally, generally that is how they live there life. If you take a word that personal, then there are probably many other things in life you take personal too, causing unnessary hardships. If someone around me keeps using a word that I do not like, them I will tell them to stop. If they do not, then they will no longer be a part in my life- simple as that. You can not change others actions or the words that they say, no matter how ignorant. I think people should just worry about themselves and not let the dumb things others do bother them, because you cannot change someone if they do not want to change.
