The meaning behind it is the context in which it is used. Black people say it with an "a" at the end. Basically claiming that it is something they turned into a term of endearment within the black community. \nThe n word does not mean that a black person was going to be raped, killed, or anything else. It means ignorant. Look it up in the dictionary. \nPersonally, I don't think anyone should say it, regardless to what color they are or what context they use it in.

I have never heard of it before but didn't find it offencive.  Even after it was explained by someone else.\nMaybe it wasn't this word that got the response deleted but something you'd said........\nI like it.\nI think I'll use it.  lol

You got it wrong. Haters have trouble understanding what is meant there.. It's just figurative, like seeing a child out playing ball and you call his another Hank Aaron...  You need yo unwind...  Jim

Gee, the last time I saw that on the homework list, it wasn't nearly so well worded.  I guess I'm supposed to be lured into answering this because it's so polite and insightful.  Yet, you see, I'm in a, ummm,  a double-bond here.  1)  I don't like doing people's homework - it's unethical, and 2)  How do THEY learn the material?\n\nAnyone out there got additional comments?

It's ok. I've heard of it before, probably from Top Gun. It's most certainly not a name I would pick though.  \n\nIt's a name that means independent... and implicitly implies strength.

I totally agree with you. It does not make any sense at all because when I talk to people and say something about people sleeping together everyone always assumes they had sex which was not what I meant at all. I think it just became a more polite way for adults in particular to say having sex because first of all they usually sleep together after the sex and second of all I think it became common when woman wanted to tell their friends about their aquintences and leave out all the details. It just a casual way to say having sex I guess.

I think it is illegal...I also think that it's stupid for it to be illegal. When I was a teenager we (as a youth group) would TP peoples homes as a form of flattery. It would mean we thought they were cool. I've had my house TP'd, I think it's funny! I'd rather be tp'd than have graffiti sprayed everywhere.

Hardly, it's slang. And if you need to really need to know, I won't go into details here. Look it up in the following link.

Technically, its not a racial term. It is just a term blacks used to identify whites who were abusive. Since it carries emotional hatred, it became a pseudo racial epithet but to be honest it is pretty weak and silly. It's basically using an old slang that meant "racist" as a racist term. See the problem?

Looked it up on line - seems like a rambling repetitive tirade.  Congratulations to you if you read the whole thing, I gave up after 30 lines or so.  There are a few words that some people feel are offensive.  There comes a time in peoples' lives where they have to get used to seeing and hearing them, even if they don't like it.  Should a teacher force a student who is uncomfortable with the words to read them out loud in front of the class?  No.  Should a fourth grade teacher assign it?  No.  Should a teacher downgrade a student if the student says "I read it and it's too bad the poet couldn't get his point across without cursing?"  No.  What happened: did a parent complain that his child was forced to read it?  A parent of a public school child should have that right.  And I accuse the poet of rambling!

I think a wall should be built only if/when we decide to enforce our own immigration laws otherwise it will not do any good.  It has to be in phases, you build a wall, and then what, amnesty, guest worker programs, what would be next?  Something realistic I hope because some of the solutions Ive seen on here are a little extreme and not going to happen ever, the people who suggest them while claiming to be so smart, really aren't if they think that will be allowed or even lawful.

Hey Junior (ABOVE): You said "Well that seems stupid to me a while back the US was against the wall that divided two european countries i am not sure if it was germany. But now they want to do that in their own country that is stupid..."\n\nJust so you can be more informed: That wall didn't divide two countries. It divided West Germany from East Germany (What once was and now again is one country: GERMANY.) In fact it was even built in the middle of a city (Berlin) making two cities...East Berlin and West Berlin. And the wall was used to keep East Germans locked into the country like prisoners. The West was free and the East was controlled by the Soviets. The wall we are talking about along the southern border of the US would be between two sovereign nations and would be built to keep would-be lawbreakers from entering unchecked and unwanted. If I were you, I wouldn't go around comparing current events to history until I get my history all figured out. ;D

Its just an abbreviation. \nIts the same thing. \n\nJust our lazy culture trying to make things simple...

it is a silly figure of speech that people usually use when they are corrected about something and they are embarassed and act like it is no big deal! yeah, it means like "same thing" or whatever. i think it is kind of a smarty remark and i dont like it much!

Don't mean to offend, but I don't like it.  Anything that ends in z when it should end in s should tip you off.\n\nI think it sounds pretty ignorant actually...You did ask for honesty...sorry :)
