Abolish the N-word184 Pledges
Issue:The n-word seems to be every where nowadays. And everyone seems to be using it. White people, black people, kids, adults, musicians, and washed-up comedians. It's being used as a greeting, as hip-hop kinship, and a term of endearment. It seems today's younger generation don't realize the history and violence behind the n-word. Many people seem to believe using the n-word is now vogue.Belief:The n-word, once a common label used for African American people, became a derogatory racial epithet. The n-word has carried the emotions of hate and contempt throughout the centuries which is why it is so painful to hear. Every time you say it you release the spirit of hate into the world. The use of the n-word should be abolished and only used in reference to historical matters.Loading People... |

i hate the word whether wit an er or an a and never use the word im african american
There is a website that helped me convince people to stop using the "N" word:
www.abolishthenword.com
Go there, it will truly turn your, and whoever sees it, life around.
I think it my choice as what i say. I hate it went people don't like something & tries to spot everybody else. Live your life & I will live my. Stop running everybody else life. Get a life
EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD NEEDS TO LEARN A SIMPLE LESSON "YOUR RIGHTS END WHERE SOMEONE ELSE'S BEGIN"
In other words, you may have the right to say what you want but it becomes void when what you say or do messes with someone else's right to be happy and live without fear or hate.
Here's an idea:
Instead of trying to get people to ban a word, whatever it might be, which is not only unconstitutional, but a relatively impossible goal, just ignore it. If you don't let someone know that it hurts you the word itself looses its power, and when it no longer holds power you will see it fade away. It will never disappear completely, but the meaning of a word can change, and the effect of a word can change, and I think that's the closest you will be able to get.
the n word has never come out of my mouth nor do i allow it to be used in my house and if i happen to be around someone who uses it i tell them to not use it in my presence or my children who are mixed with black and white. never has my family used the word in my presence but i can not say the same for their fathers family which would be the black side but they know not to use it in my house and they know i will leave their home if they use it. it will not stop being used till everyone black,white,purple or green stop using it and showing their own ignorance
Joe Jonas Lover THE N-WORD IS HURTFUL AND IS DEMEANING, GET RID OF IT!!!!
Niggar, there I said it. It is just a word and it is unconstitushinol to abolish a word. Because something called freedom of speach.
Besides abolishing the N-word, we should also bring to attention that it is not alright to call a grown black man "boy" or a grown black woman "girl" or "gal". Of course ppl will do whatevr they please in the end, but it tis cowardice to let it continue without even trying to stop it. Let ppl come up with another word, I'll still be pleased that ppl stood against the use of this one.
I believe that if you abolish the word there will just be another word people will start using instead, it is an endless circle to try and abolish the word . Yes I do believe it is wrong to use but there will be something else to replace it.
As I am African-American, I find it doubly offensive...nasty word!!!
Well, well, well now see Mr. Roger P. has a very interesting point. Based on the fact that what he states is true and alsoit's actually part of the definition of this nasty little N-word. The problem for those who states its history is; your grandparents were not denied an education based on the color of their skin. Therefore you see No harm in it, just like the african-american children of today. And Roger if I may educate you also the rap culture as you previously stated feel because the hardship they suffered they have that right, 'cause the color of their skin and because no one has taken the time to educate them on their history. T.W. I see you also are uneducated, to be offended because of being compared to a nice dry food item is nothing when being called a LOW,IGNORANT FORM OF LIFE! I suggest you grab a Webster's dictionary dated before 1950, where you'll see the definition for that ever so dirty N-word is: NEGRO, BLACK,DIRTY & any other mean thing you could think of. Oh and here's some food for thought, in that same dictionary the definition of the color white is; Clean, Good & Pure and other nice little words of that nature. Justin H. Free Speech, baby you are so right, all I'm asking is before you call someone out of their name, hmmph, look it up and make SURE that it actually applies to whom you're using it on. Thank You- after all until somebody actually finishes their family tree, you'll never know the next person you call such a foul name might be a distant cousin of yours. You ever wonder why its so hard to trace your roots or get your parents to tell you about anyone besides their parents??? ASHAMED... ha ha ha now I'm lol
I haven't used the word in years; don't plan on doing so any time soon either!
lol
If the N word is made LAW to abolish it, so should the C word for whites. I find it offensive, very offensive. So if we are making a law to abolish a word or slang, lets make a list!!! It would only be fair. We don't enslave people anymore and we need move on. Yes it happened and its history but it was along time ago, and like all HISTORY we learn from their mistakes(AND YES IT WAS WRONG, A MISTAKE) and the generations move on. If we have to keep saying SORRY for deeds done in another time to witch I know none of those slave owners alive today then we can never move forward. HISTORY can not be CHANGED only LEARNED FROM.
And in History slaves of all kinds goes all the way back to the beginning. Slaves are referred to throughout the Bible and other very early texts. IT was wrong then and is now, But it is History in this COUNTRY.
I will never say never again! I can't stand the "N" word (Never). Never is like, admitting to defeat before ever trying! Let's petition to get rid of the "N" word (Never). Peace.
That's a bad "N" word. I won't say that again either. What do you think about ****?
All I have to say is "Freedom of Speech". I'll say what I want to say regarding who I feel it applys to.
If you have noticed it's usually the african american's that use that N word all the time in their music......soooooooooooo what's the problem. I guess then EVERYONE!!!! should stop saying it. Even the rappers...I just don't get it?
THE N WORD IS MEANT FOR EVERY RACE NOT JUST BLACK,CRACKER IS FOR WHITES. I'M HALF INDIAN AND HALF WHITE. SO I HAVE HEARD EVERY KIND OF COMMENT THERE IS OUT THERE. I CHOOSE NOT TO SAY THE N WORD. I DO HAVE SEVERAL BLACK FRIENDS WHO ARE THE GREATEST..I WOULD DIE FOR ANYONE OF THEM. I DON'T THINK ANY WORD TO HARM A PERSON SHOULD BE USED IN ANY CONTENT WHATSOEVER. MY BLACK FRIENDS CALL ME A N LOVER..YES I AM A N LOVER CRACKER LOVIN SQUAW LOVIN KIND OF A GUY...PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THERE RACE.
