Man, I had to close my balcony door for this snippet as I didn't want my multicultural neighbours hearing it :)

The word does hold rather a lot of power, doesn't it? For some they lose their minds, for others it becomes a way to bully and destroy others.

Kind of like the 'c' word for women, although I don't think we have as much power to police a 'bad word' as much as POC. But I'm with Nishad G, if it's THAT bad, no one can say it, or everyone can say it.

Given how quickly the left rendered highly charged words like racist, transphobic, violence, assault, genocide, assault, and misogynist largely meaningless, if we announced an n-word free-for-all right now, the word would cease to have power by Labour Day.
