I'm not black but I don't nor would I ever use the word. Low-life blacks use that word hundreds of times a day when speaking to one another or as a reference to describe someone else. They've desensitized the word since they use it so much. It doesn't even mean what it once meant.

Isn't that a GOOD thing?

Ehhhh...she was trying to be cute though. I mean, not saying she should've been canned, but she was acting pretty stupid.

Well, I am happy black people have the right to call each other such a degrading word.

Yes, we are just so upset we can't use the N word, you just keep believing that.

I know what i know, and i'll just leave it there. When white folks from your neck of the woods speak about black folks in a negative light, all the time or not, they ain't saying "black" or "African American." You know it, i know it, and so does everyone else. That's probably no less true for people in other areas too, but i KNOW it's the truth for where you're from. So miss me with the phoniness.
Works both ways.

Another case where white educators are using the n-word in public with chaos ensuing.

I personally have never used that word....Nor do I appreciate the use of that word. But, how can you have a dialog about that word without saying it outloud? .....But that kid can use the F word repeatedly. Double standard.

You can't even say N when discussing the use of the word N.

Not sure Webster dictionary today defines it as such, but it means 'dirty person'. It does not mean 'friend'.

Like the B word, (or any other derogatory remark) a person can use words in certain circles; we've always known this. So why is this so difficult to understand now?
