Using the "n" word

I would understand it more if everyone that hasn't experienced the pain this word has caused issued a T across the board but that isn't the case.

This will get a T from me.

I agree that the word has history, but it has history with people that are white. There are also other words that I would be very offended by if someone white said them as well. It does not carry the same feelings when someone of my own race uses. I might not like the word, but it does not have the same distiction. This just goes to show that all people of color do not agree.
