What's the word "pinch" in Korean?

Clarifying the n-word; Whats ur opinion on it?

  • yes its been on here countless numbers of times ! Whats ur opinion on it? This is mine: This has actually been clarified hundreds, if not thousands of times on this site. I'm pretty sure my post will not stop the question from being asked. There is no N-Word police... so technically ANYONE can say it. And, I feel like if you're white and you want to use the word, please do. But, be real about your racist intent and stop trying to blame RAP MUSIC, and the fact that SOME black people still choose to use the word. I'm black and I don't say the N-Word. And, I think if others realized how ignorant it makes you sound, more people would stop using it as well. There are plenty of other words in the dictionary that we could be familiarizing ourselves with.

  • Answer:

    I read your question and found myself applauding. reading these answers, the people who are still whining that it's a "double standard" don't seem to understand the point you're making. They don't seem to understand that all black people aren't the same, and that we all do not use that word. My opinion is, have the common sense not to use it at all, not because you're told not to use it but because it is an ugly word and an ugly part of our human history. Think for yourself, stop with excuses like "oh I know a black guy who uses it and I wanna use it too!" We have the power to think for ourselves, perhaps it is time we started using that power.

I feel no one should be saying it. Not even Black people.

It's a stupid word used by stupid people.

most people i know say it because they think it's a "cool" way to talk. i don't say it. i lose respect for people who say it, no matter what race they are.

The more people care about a word, the more power the word will have.

Only racists should be allowed to use that word.

I strongly believe that the n-word is a racial slur. I hate racial slurs because even when used in jest they hurt. I am Jewish and have been called many different slurs by people who are bigoted and indifferent to the feelings of other. I do not ridicule your race or your religion, it should not be right for anyone to do it. I my 60 years of life, I have seen Blacks called several names I cannot and will not quote. I don't call my fellow Jews any slur and believe that Blacks should not slur each other. Besides if Blacks can use the n-word as a non-slur then everyone should be able too. That double standard is not justified. No there is no N-word Police. But there is the self police. I am offended by slurs, just as much as I am by the statement "Some of my best friends are Jewish". You know I have never heard "Some of my best friends are Baptists". I was there when the civil rights movement was in its early years. The last thing I think we wanted back then was to come this far and end up with hate flowing from inside the community. Yes, I am Jewish but I marched and participated in the civil rights movement also.

I hate it when ANYONE uses it. I don't want to here a white, latino, asian or black person say. Geez call people by their names, already, thats why we have them!!

My opinion is that black folks need to aspire to be on a higher spiritual plain and quit slugging it out with foolish jokers over nonsense such as this.

I'm black and I don't use it either. I agree that there are other words to use to get your point across, people need to pick up a dictionary and find them. I think everyone needs to get a grip and get past it. White people need to stop whining about it not being socially acceptable for them to use it in public... And Black people need to come up with other terms that don't have such a demeaning origin. Basically, everyone needs to stop worrying about it and focus on other issues that have a greater impact on humanity.
