My response to the “N” word

Watching the five minute video about Tim wise and the “n” word and  yes the derogatory word used back in the day to classify African Americans and still used today by all sorts of people and races. He talks about how, when to use the word and if indeed is okay to use. I like how he states the fact that for one, black and white people would have to take separate conversations and he being white would have no part or interest in what the African Americans decided to do with the word. He takes a type of position of its wrong to use the word no matter who you are but being of that decent you should be able to decide on what words to use and not use. He also goes on talking about the red neck issue where being called a red neck is not as degrading as the “N” word due to the fact that it was never in the same group as the “N” word.  He mentions how if a Jewish man where to tell jokes about red necks such as Jeff Foxworthy they wouldn't be as funny, but if he tells Jewish jokes they would be funnier. Tim wise seems to find that no one should actually use any degrading or hurtful slurs towards anyone in the spoken word. He talks about how if someone is being quoted in text, it should be alright but when spoken it takes on another character which shouldn't be accepted.  I was skeptical at first because I have noticed that today people think that it is acceptable to use the “N” word and others of the same character. I don’t find it acceptable at all; a word that is not uplifting or positive should not be used as such. I find it socially unacceptable to use such words and if they must be spoken due so in the comfort of friends and not around strangers. I really enjoyed Tim wises video and the position he takes on the “N” word and pretty much all other degrading words.
