The N-word has gone through a cycle. It is a racial slur, period. But, I believe by our parents making it taboo they created this monster. Just like using the F-word, we whispered the N-word. We became so accustomed to using it that now it's part of our perminate vocabulary.

Well, we know that "righties" are unaware of the concepts commonly called "compassion" or "empathy", so I don't expect you to have any about this subject.
Personally, I'd rather be empathetic toward others, than a racist, self-righteous ass.
