CMV: The public fear of using the N Word in America gives the word power and is unhelpful to society.

The concept that "the N word" shouldn't be spoken aloud ever under any circumstances by anyone harms society by unnecessarily and artificially granting a word some almost magical power, so that it cannot be uttered. It's an ugly word with an ugly history. I'm not arguing that using the full word is good or appropriate, but treating it like voldemorts name makes its power *worse* than if it were treated like any other slur like cunt, fuck, etc. For example, saying "You shouldn't call people n * * * rs" is just as offensive as saying "Your daddy's a n * * r", even though they mean completely opposite things, and ironically for the sake of this argument itself I have to self censor the words in a meta way so my post doesn't get banned. Context matters, and the aura of "no no word" around saying N***r among grown adults calling it the N word is almost childish.

It’s not some kind of magic or anything, it’s just an offensive word people prefer not to hear or say. You’re also seriously over stating the aversion to it. There are plenty of contexts where the word is said without issue, racists in movies, Black people in general, academics discussing the slur, people quoting Tom Sawyer, etc. it’s not like you’re very likely to go through life never hearing it.

Also, let’s be real here, society isn’t being harmed *at all* by this general aversion.
