My son has basically ended a friendship

27. No, it says clearly at the beginning that the child said the word at 8, and nearly got

beaten up for saying it and it was used more as an epithat. Now, that the boy is older, he's "ghetto" wearing, speaking, and acting and uses the word like one of the various hip hop songs he may be listening to or being influenced by others who he is hanging out with.

When I was in high school and living in VT with barely any ethnicity in site, we would listen to the CD's and "sing along", but we were always unnerved about the proper thing to do if one was singing along, and the ni double g er was said in the song. We felt it was best just to leave that part unspoken since we weren't comfortable saying the word even in a repetition type of setting in the privacy of our car or at a party. I'm still very uncomfortable hearing it coming from anyone's mouth. I wish it would become a dead word, unused ever. There is no need for such an ugly, disgusting word.

I also didn't like the whole, "bitch" thing that emerged during my college years. I really didn't care if you were my bestie girlfriend or a stranger, calling out "bitch" like I was supposed to feel the word was some sort of endearment, never felt comfortable. I used to say and still do, the only person who can call me a bitch is myself when I know I'm actually in a bitchy mood, and I really don't run around calling myself a bitch. There are other words that can be used. Cunt is the absolute worst word that will have me seeing red. Its disgusting and makes a female body part into a vile, deplorable thing to be hurled at someone as an ultimate insult; definately something no man should EVER say or even have in their brains to use.
