Ok but really and honestly I think this much is true. the "n word" really has been watered down to just a normal word depending on how its used, or normally used in a joking matter. However, no matter how it was used it really did used to bother me. I mean normally you can't make it through one hip hop song or rap song without hearing it at least once normally. Where your coming from is legitimate but you can't take it personally every time you see it and can't stop stop everybody from saying it. It was originally a racist word, but if its not being used in a racist matter it shouldnt be a big deal. But of course when people use it all the time in all circumstances i could see it being annoying. Not many people are gonna see this thread so really I think the only thing you can do is change your attitude about it.
