It's about context. The word isn't going away. But the context in which it's used matters a great deal.

I agree. But white people who are over a certain age should never say it in any context IMO. The stupid millennials are going to have shite so twisted up when they are in their 40s, who the frick knows what words will be off limits.

This. I don't use it to talk about people or use an derivatives to talk about friends.

That being said, if someone wants to discuss the word, I'm not going to say the fricking N word, that gives it more power than it deserves.

When I say it its with an R.

Ditto

Boomers had their own fricked up lexicon at the same age bracket.

But yeah let's act like millennials are stupid for somehow finding ways to take a modicum of the venom out of this word

No words should be off limits, they're words. People should stop trying to police what others say.
