Yikes.
It is unbelievable how people don't see this. The N word has the weight of unbelievable historic and current oppression behind it, and is used on a historically disenfranchised group. It is and has been used to keep that group in their place. There is a reason that white people can't say that word and it has everything to do with power and oppression.
