I saw a program about the N word and a young black rapper was looking into the origins of the word and why it was okay for black people to use it.
He met a historian who specialised in the slave trade and she explained the origins of the word and after the young rapper said he would no longer use it and would explain to others why he thought they should stop using it as it is derogatory and demeaning.

People shouldn't use words they don't understand and know the meaning of.

Generally people will run for the hills when someone accuses them of racism, they are so afraid of it they try so hard not to appear racist but they actually are.
