Cursing is a form of language and communication, and it is an expression common to many cultures and traditions. Additionally, there is nothing inherently wrong with using strong language, particularly when used in a socially acceptable manner and to effectively communicate a feeling or emotion. However, cursing can be particularly prevalent amongst African Americans due to historic struggles with racism, as a tool for self-expression, and as a form of code-switching in certain social contexts. Further, certain cultural practices and religious faiths may make the act of cursing more acceptable, and cursing may serve a performative purpose in communication.
