ITS ONLY RIGHT.

Today, we discussed a topic relating to black history. It was regarding the dehumanization of African Americans or you can say, how the N-word affects the emotions of African Americans. The teacher began with the word: Caricature. This word means a picture, description, or imitation of a person in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect. He then presented examples such as cartoon drawings of African Americans with exaggerated facial features along with stereotypical symbols. Following the examples, he stated that the N-Word is a caricature and went about displaying the different ways in which it is used. Everything was fine until he pointed out that the N-Word, regardless of its ending, shouldn't be used by blacks and that it is offensive and hypocritical. Now, society itself is hypocritical. People believe that babies shouldn't be aborted, even if the mother is unfit, but doesn't want the child to end up in foster care. That's completely hypocritical because they want for the child's life to be protected even though the child will only end up miserable and lost in the system. Hypocrisy is human nature because everybody is constantly attempting to see everything from better perspectives even if it is wrong. In my opinion, the N-Word should be used by African Americans, exclusively. It is a word associated with emotions that gave us the initiative to consolidate and overcome. As stated in our previous topic, doubt is needed to bring about certainty. The doubt within the N-Word is the assumption that African Americans are nothing but ignorant animals who are not worth anything in life unless they are in the fields. The certainty is the creation of technology, the African American celebrities, and the flourishment of young gifted minds that we behold today. The N-Word is a reminder of our history and indicates something as positive as a close friend or brother. We took the word and its power from the people who brought upon it and modified it to represent a strong bond between 2 or more colored people. I'm not saying that it is a good word to say, more likely it should be said in your head, but that does not mean it should be treated as profane language.
