[split] The word 'Nigger' and other slurs

[Cinjin]

"Words only have the power one gives to them," is something you tell a grade-schooler when one of his classmates calls him a dummy. However, when you use that tired cliche in an attempt to nullify someones racial slur, that tells me you're either an insensitive prick or unaware of your own foolish misuse of a worn out platitude.
