We could have a discussion and maybe I would change my idea, I am open to that even now.
Just to be clear, I have black friends that use that word quite often. Again, it’s a word, they can and you or me can’t?
I don’t take responsibility for your ancestors (my ancestors are not linked to slavery by the way) nor I feel guilty because of the color of my skin, but only for my actions. I might indeed have been racist, involuntarily, as I am far for perfect.
Still, I don’t see reason to censor a word. Censor the person that uses it to express racist opinions or support racist behaviour.
I’d love to watch you try to tell a black person this. In person.

It’s called being respectful to people. It’s really not that hard.
Let’s be clear: I don’t go around calling people names, whether it’s their color, religion, sexual identification or else.
Do you get that I am talking about the word itself and censorship? Especially in games and online platforms, this is the thread reasoning.
And you didn’t spend a single word discussing the point I am making, you are blinded by the word, at least this is what I get from your replies.
