why the n-word is banned?
hello!
my friend was raised in a country without blacks, without racists, without immigrants, without nazi past, without KKK, without slavery, etc
he finds it too much that a word, even an insulting word, like n-word, is banned and it shouldn't be told at all, while there are other heavier insulting words that one can say and they aren't banned
he says:
why the n-word?
what's so special about blacks that we should protect them against insulting?
he cannot understand
he says a word is just a word, there shouldn't be bans for words!
what's your opinion?

In a shop once there were niger seeds. I was young and said nigg... seeds. I was told not to say it. Why? Because the word itself is fine but people often use in a negative way. Then it becomes a bad word. And the rest follows.
hate arguments like this...
what the phrase "it's just a word" mean? and ****** isn't banned in the UK, since when? Well not in itself, but the same with other offensive words...
It's just the historical connotation behind the word. I don't care if it is banned, freedom of speech is not absolute..

Where is 'your friend' from, then?
he is from albania
Why is every third thread of yours about black people ?
What could possibly posses you to invest so much time and efffort into hating the group of people so ?]
Maybe because its offensive to the people who have ancestors who endured centuries of rape , torture and slavery ? Can you not possibly grasp why that would hurt these people ?
It's almost akin to referencing the holocaust when identifying someone of Jewish background , its not nice .

By the sound of things his friend is from Greenland.
I think it's a little far to just "ban" a word. I suppose at the end of the day words are just words and it's more about how people react to them? Some people don't tend to care and throw the word around whilst others see it as disrespect and even in the severe cases act physically violent
