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 long been used as a racial slur against African Americans, with deep roots in our history of slavery and oppression. It can be incredibly hurtful to those who hear it, due to its historically-charged association with systemic racism and white supremacy. Moreover, its frequent use in popular culture today can contribute to normalizing and sanitizing the word in a damaging way.
