I think you guys are making a pretty big leap between “lady says a universally offensive word appropriate in context and offends someone” to “lady is labelled racist and books will be banned!”
You guys can hoot and holler the word all you want. But don’t be dumb and think even in the proper context you wont offend someone, because not everyone is going to know the context. #### happens. Go talk about the book at your work and see what happens. It’s not the end of the world if you upset someone because they’re not on the same page as you, but it does happen. And with the n-word, it’s gonna happen.
Some of you guys just can’t resist jumping head first down the slippery slope you set out. Who is saying the word isn’t allowed to be said in any context? Who is saying she should be fired? Not anyone here. Who y’all arguing with? Books should be banned because they might offend someone?.... what??
