The "N" Word

1. Where does the "N"word come from ? Why does it offend some people so much ?
The "N" word comes from when African American were slaves to white people a long time ago. I think some people take offense to the "N" word because it is such a strong word referring to the past where black people were treated as slaves. Also the "N" word is giving a label , a name to a certain race which probably people do not like.

2. Should Non-Black people be able to use the "N" word ?
Personally I believe Caucasian people should not use it because they have such a past with African Americans. But i believe if you grew up knowing the "n" word and people surrounded around you use it and you are only saying the "N" word to people you know it isn't as bad or weird.

3. Should musicians stop using the "N" word ?
I think musicians should stop using it so often like they do but if it has a reason between the word then i think it is fine. But then i think it isnt bad because us telling them to not use the "N" word is us limiting their use of colorful language. Also people enjoy the music even if it has the word so i don't believe it isn't that bad as long as they're not using the word in an offensive sense.

4. Do other ethnic groups (for example, Chinese, Jews, and Dominicans) use ethnic slurs like the N-Word to describe themselves?  If not, Why ?
 I think they don't use it because the take it much or offensive than African Americans and people nowadays are used to saying the "N" word , not anything else because many people grew up hearing the n word a lot, not any other ethnic slurs..

5. What would happen if black people (and everyone else) started using “king” or “queen” instead of the N Word?
I think if people started using the word King and Queen people might like it more than the "N" word because it might bring people spirit up being called king or queen. BUT i think after a while no one would really care and be use to the word so no one would really care about the meaning of King or Queen so it'll be just like the "N" word no one would take offense to it or feel better so their is no use of making those words ( King and Queen) upon us because it wont really make the world a better place because it will become a slang word. You wouldn't obviously hear Obama saying wassup my King -_- , thats lame lml .
WELL YEAH THATS MY OPINION ON THE N WORD ;-*
