When u write n-word in forums it is censored as "friend".I am a black person and i find this very offensive.The word "friend" sounds humiliating,It is similar to calling handicapped people "special".White people can't understand the psychological effect of discrimination,therefore,don't know how it feels to be called "friend".Using this word has the sub-consicous effect of compulsory affiliation,however,makes the opposite result.In other words,calling someone that is not your fellow compulsory "friend",pushes them away from you instead of getting them closer.In my view,we need to change this offensive word to either "afro-american" or "african-american".The word friend will isolate black people more and more then they already are.I suggest we end this racism right here,right now and change the censor!
