**Warning** The use of the "N-word" will be used for educational purposes during this episode so please listen with caution.
\nThe word "n*gger" carries with it much of the hatred and repulsion directed toward Africans and African Americans. Historically, n*gger defined, limited, and mocked African Americans. It was a term of exclusion, a verbal justification for discrimination. Whether used as a noun, verb, or adjective, it reinforced the stereotype of the lazy, stupid, dirty, worthless parasite. \u201cN*gga\u201d is a word that is used 500,000 times a day on Twitter while \u201cbro\u201d and \u201cdude\u201d \u2014 two of the terms with which the n-word is synonymous to many people younger than 35 \u2014 are used 300,000 and 200,000 times, respectively which means not only Black people use this term, which brings up the concern if anyone should be using it at all.
