Some writers assert than any used of words like ''nigger'' implies that the writer or speaker hates black people. You can't even put the words in quotation marks, when quoting someone (real or fictional) who said it: the mere act of pronouncing the word aloud or spelling it out, implies that you condone its use and that you harbor anti-black [[racism]]. You have to say or write, "the n-word" in self-censorship.
