Do you need to say the word Nigger GZ? Do you need to say the word Kike? Gook or Wetback?

Do those words make you feel better? Increase the content of your character?

I prefer to try - just try - to raise my character by refraining from using those words out of respect for others. I don't care that Nigga is socially accepted slang by certain Black people and that they can use it as liberally as they want to. If it makes you feel better and you are comfortable using it, then go ahead. It is the content of your character that is represented.
