An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
goodbye n-word? not bloody likely

So the NAACP held a burial for the infamous N-Word. One of the more lasting and pervasive expressions of hatred and racism. I think its great that so many African Americans have come together to help push this horrid word out of Americas vocabulary.
I fear however that the continued use of the word within their own communities undermines this movement. The musical artists and even the ordinary people who use this word in their daily lives are setting back the larger push for the freedom that the existence and use of this world prevents.
One day we will be past all of this sad nonsense, though I’m not sure how close that day is.

It’s kind of a complicated issue, I would say.
