In case it isn’t already clear, I absolutely do not condone the use of the word ‘nigger’ in any context other than discussing its use by racists.What about saying it when playing a racist character, in something like Roots?
It’s funny that you bring this up because To Kill a Mockingbird is commonly read by jr. high-school kids and in Southern states it gets banned or removed from the curriculum all the time. And it isn’t because black people want it banned, because they don’t since the book is very progressive and is actually against racism, even thought the word n_____ is used frequently. It’s almost always racist white people that ban the book to hide a piece of literature that portrays the south for how racist it is.
