JEFF9K (1,119 posts)The "n" word is clearly offensive to 99.999% of educated people, and no one could possibly take issue with censoring its use in a negative context.
When I was young and the "N" word was in common use, it was always used in the negative sense. If a person of color was a useless POS, then the term applied to him/her. If a person of color was a good solid citizen type, then they were called colored and a white kid could get his head thumped for misusing the terms, applying them wrongly to a person of color.
When the democrats set out to decimate the character of people of color and placing them on their plantation for the next 200 years, the "N" word had to be attacked and eliminated from common use.....can't have people calling dark skin democrat voters what they really were. They had to elevate them to the higher caste, whether deserved or not, by eliminating the lower class reference or they might rebel.
