Does a fart by any other word smell just as foul?

How about the so-called N-WORD? 

What is the N-Word?

Is the N-Word n****r, n***a or is it...?

Can I say N-Word without thinking NIGGER?

Get off that race conscious and self-hating IVORY tower.

In neighborhoods close-to-the-earth nigger is a greeting and punctuation - and, NEGRO is no more than negro for spanish speakers.

It is not the word that is inflamitory but our insecurities that are inflamed, it seems.
