After reading all the articles, something really stood out to me. The "N Word". We all know what it is, and most of us would agree that the word is derogatory. I used to think that just saying the "N Word" would be alright. Because when I say the "N word", I don't actually say the actual word. However, awhile ago I was watching Louis CK's Hilarious. One of the segment he did really opened my eyes to how specific words are used, even the "N word"

The video is about 3 minutes at most. If you could watch it, I would very much appreciate it. It might open your eyes to how even the simplest word can have so much meaning.
At my old school, kids would use the N word meaning that they were their friends. However, with the backround of this word over hundreds of years it just seems a little inconsiderate to use that word. People are going to do what people are going to do though.
