The “N” word is passe.
I learned the “N” word from Afro-Americans that I grew up with. In all my years, I’ve only heard the word once coming from someone other than Afro-American.
If is Afro-Americans who keep the word alive and in the forefront. The usage of the word has to be stopped by Afro-Americans to set an example that it is not O.K. for anyone to use.
Mooney says Afro-Americans own and earned the right to use the word, but I say it’s time for Afro-Americans to dis-own the word. They have paid for it so let it be placed with all the other obsolete words.
