I dont use the word, but I'm not about to tell any man or woman in this world what they can or cannot say.
Use it if you want, or don't use it.
I think it only has any value because people get upset at its use. ignore it and it dies.
Helluva double standard here - when this guest on the show says that she uses it all the time with her friends having a good time, but when barbara walters uses it, it makes her sad and angry and brings up terrible memories of slavery.
So much bigger shit in the world to worry about, than when a word can be used, and by who.
