TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — With a debate swirling nationwide over the n-word, a historically black college in Alabama has set aside four days to discuss the racial slur.
Participants at the conference, which began Thursday and ends Sunday, discussed topics ranging from the origins of the epithet to whether juggling a few letters makes it socially acceptable at the N'Surrection Conference at Stillman College.
Organizers said the goal of the event is to challenge the use of the n-word "through the use of intelligent dialogue and a thorough examination of black history."
So excuse the shit out of me if I'm in error, but maybe if American blacks stopped saying nigger every other word the bloody thing would die a natural death. And please, the only "nationwide debate" over nigger stems from the incredulity that the same people that utter it as a matter of course could then protest it's use.
If it's that bad then don't include it as part of your vocabulary. Or is that too simple?
