I don't know about you, but if I ran around my town spouting the "n word", I'd get a mudhole stomped in my ass. Better yet, use other racial ephitets, so they can be cool, too.
Kinda pathetic, IMO.
you'd be surprised by the list of racial slurs not commonly used in everyday speech.
And by the number of people that allow themselves to be called by these names.

But there are still worse words/phrases out there. And of course every so often an idiot comes along and tries to be funny and coins a new term that makes no sense.
