....I don't understand why it's still fine to if 2 black people call each other the N-Word. Everyone should just stop using that word. So the next generations growing up will never hear it.

Really? How much of classic literature do you have to ban do get to that point?

Want to include all of Jack London's fiction, where he shows the N-word being used to refer to Polynesian Islanders in the common language of the 1890s?

How about Hemingway?

I'm going to stop at these two, but just recall, words mean different things in different times and places.

In a historic context or in literature from the past I think it's fine to use it. But there is a difference about reading it in old books (the authors are not alive anymore today) and hearing it on the streets in a normal conversation. It's just my thought for people to live free and happily together, without violence, riots or looting.
