The N word

Kids now a days use the word nigger as a way to call their friends over. Adults think of it as a very bad thing, they know the troubles their parent and grandparents went through with all the slavery and what not. I cant say i don't use it but i grew up around kids constantly saying it. Now getting older I see at as a bad thing. Niggers were originally black now you here White, Hispanic, Asians, and Indians all say the word to call there friends over. In class today i had a conversation about the word and I noticed we expressed as a good thing..
