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 is often seen as a symbol of racism and hatred toward Black people. The use of this word is incredibly offensive and hurtful to many because of its long-standing history of being used to oppress and demean black people. Furthermore, the effects of structural racism and white supremacy are still prevalent today, and the usage of this word is inextricably linked to that system of oppression. As a result, for many people - white and Black - it has become a symbol of racism and should be viewed as such. The use of this word cannot simply be excused by people's right of free speech.
