Then, I'll stop using the word "nigger". Oh, what, doesn't make much sense now? Thought so.

were you enslaved for hundreds of years and called "gwarbane" as a derogatory term??
the word n**** is insensitive and should not be used in an open forum.
i am asking you, politely, to please stop throwing that word around like is has no meaning and hasnt been used to berate a specific race.
EDIT: and no, i do not recall you specifically calling someone a n** in a racist context.
i'm not arguing that it makes you racist to say it, i'm arguing that this is an open forum and that word should not be used.
i say it myself, but i am respectful of the ppl who may read or hear it when i use it, as you should be
