Gwyneth Paltrow And 27 Other People Who Can Never, Ever Use The N-Word: "I don't know if the author of this piece is being tongue-in-cheek or what but by judging the list, nobody, regardless of social status, should be using the word. And I fond it interesting that American blacks who still use the word make the claim that they are "taking back the name" as if you had ownership in it. What a load of bull. That word was created by southern racist slave holders who's intent was to rob the slaves of any human dignity by subjecting them to as many abusers as they could muster. By clinging on to this word, you only perpetuate the memory of this human indignation to this word that you didn't create. And all of these intellectual celebrities who think they are above reproach when they say it, ignore the fact that the word still cuts into a person's self worth and humanity. We recognize Nazism and the words of hate from that era and put them where they are and yet we can't seem to put this word where it needs to be, in the archives of racist dogma."
