Once again we have to hear about the N-word. When blacks comedians uses the N-word it is funny, but let a white comdian say that word all hell breaks lose. For years that short runt on TV used to refere to whites as hoonkies. Well I find that offencive. If blacks can use the N-Word, everyone should be able to, if not it is called discrimanation. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

ohhhh this cracks me up how white people have to say N WORD LOL, while the blacks use the real word in their everyday vocabulary and nobody bats an eye, another perfect example why whites are sick and tired of having their hands tied and their mouths taped shut ,while blacks say whatever the hell they want when they want, and you wonder why theirs still racism in the world,

I think Huckleberry Finn should be edited so that every time the N word appears, it should be replaced with "African American Person". THAT, should be good read'n.

So, now we have to leave words out of the dictionary to be PC? Let's just go ahead, before Kommissar Klinton takes office, and eliminate the 1st Amendment.

It was orginally developed for Rappers who could not spell - basically most of them because any education past the 8th graade is a waste. When the company decided to go big they did not modify the program. I have no doubt that other demeaning slang terms used in typical Rap Lyrics are common in this program. I think they sent a free copy to Al Sharpton for him to write (say) his speeches with.

I wouldn't use the word out of simple courtesy and respect for my fellow human beings; but, this DOES show the power of PC Speech Control. Perhaps there are EIGHT words you can't say on TV? No wait, I heard that word (MANY times) during an HBO Comedy special.

it is a legal word of the English language that has been bastardized into its current form.
