[split] The word 'Nigger' and other slurs

[Godscreated]

I also see the word as repulsive because of it's association with a certain people, it was meant to degrade them, just as some here use xtain to degrade Christians. When a word or phrase is directed at a certain group it shows lack of respect, it shows a lack of maturity. Now if the same word or phrase is used across the board for everyone it's meaning changes, but should it still be used, I think not, it's original use is not forgotten and still brings up unpleasant fillings. Just because there's freedom of speech in this country, it doesn't mean we are to throw respect for our fellow man out the window.
