You and 89 nailed this shit down.BlueHen86 wrote:It's just a word. People should get over it. If it was that bad of a word then nobody should say it - ever. The fact that is okay for some people to say and not others means that we're not talking about offending people, we're talking about people who are looking for things to be offended about.
If the news is reporting a story, and the word is part of the story, then say it.
Louis CK and Patrice Oneal are/were my two favorite comedians. Both are very cerebral dudes. They explain some of the origins of the words in this clip from O&A on a show about 3 yrs. ago.
