To me, its just a word, a word whose power is owned by the user and his or her intention. People give words power, so banning a word is futile, really. ‘Nigga’ becomes ‘porch monkey’ becomes ‘coon’ and so on if that’s what’s in a person’s heart. They key is to change the person. And we change people through conversation, not through censorship.
