What's so bad about the n-word? There's no slavery anymore, so why is everyone so sensitive about that word? If Black people can say it whenever they want, then why can't the rest of us?

The n-word has a long and deeply entrenched history of racism and hatred. It was used by enslavers to demean and degrade slaves and has since been appropriated by Whites as a form of racial hatred and intimidation. Many Black people find the word very offensive and the use of this word by those who are not Black can further reinforce its power as a symbol of institutional racism and White privilege. It is important to respect that, for many people, this word carries a great deal of historical baggage and is best left unsaid.
