This sounds racist , but we all know it would happen . For some reason , some black people are really against any usage of the word , even though they probably say it several times daily . In my mind , if people are supposed to have equality , then racism isn ' t a oneway street . And not letting someone say a word just because of the color of their skin sounds racist to me . But in the modern age , everyone takes the black person ' s side when something happens as long as they make it about race , whether or not the white person is really at fault . I wouldn ' t even use the N word , because I personally think it ' s a disrespectful word , but I only defend it for the principle of the matter , and in the interest of equality .
