Brother, I'm half black half white. I'm super convinced that you don't even know what that word means. Like is one thing for somebody to say the n word. It's another thing for somebody to say it in a derogatory way. It's one thing for someone to say jokingly. It's another for someone to sit there and say it to bersmarch or demean a person. If it's used in a derogatory way to bersmirch or demean a person at that point it becomes racist for you to say it. However, it is not racist for someone to say it and an endearing way. It's the same way with people calling people c words in Australia. It's a terminate there. I personally don't think that there's any point in issuing in a ban to someone who isn't saying it in a derogatory or demeaning way. It's just kind of unfair. Not to mention it also violates the first amendment which is the freedom of speech. Just because you don't like someone saying something doesn't mean that they there should be disciplinary or lawful action taken on that person. Just because you feel offended by what they said. It creates a divide between people and it also creates a hostile environment. If people have to walk on eggshells around you every time that they're around you because they don't want to say something that's going to make you feel some type of way, then you're obviously not somebody that a lot of people are going to want to be around at the end of the day.
I think you seriously need to change your world view. Because you're kind of undermining people who have actually went through and actually dealt with actual racist experiences of people using certain languages and derogatory terms and slurs and not an endearing but a demeaning way. You're taking away the meaning behind that word and the significance behind it.
