Does the word "nigger" still hold as much of its shock value?
Since the black community adopted the word "nigga" as a term they use themselves,I've felt that the slur lost a lot of its impact & power.
Ok,a racial slur is still a racial slur,but as bsams said,does a word really hurt that much?
At the end of the day,anyone who would use that word as an insult,is obviously a moron,so whos really the one being laughed at?
