I've been known to do it myself with the word p*** around my pakistani friends. It is sometimes not greeted with as much hostility as you may think.
I do however, understand the implications and history of the word n*****, and Emily was, arguably, ignorant to that, and it is that factor which makes this word so controversial.

there are some words that shouldnt be desensitized tho.
Thats my point,every time somone uses it in a fun or jokingly way,it gives the REAL racists the persmission to use it.
the words should be striked from any conversation.
oh and very mature whoever took away karma for my perfectly respectful post.

I don't think the word should be struck from conversation, I think people should be educated about it so they know the implications of saying it.

But people already knows it wrong to use it.
Id prefer it didnt exsist to be used to educate,then let scumbag racists the chance or permission to use it..
