Y'know, while I've heard the word nigger used by a small number of white racists, by far the most common occurrence of the word seems to be by black comedians.

I'd like to respectfully submit that the problem isn't with the word, unpleasant as it may be--it's with the attitude behind its usage. And I'm offended by the use of the terms "N-word" and "F-word" and typographic pussy-footings like "n****r, which I consider to be pure b******t.
