I find it ironic that a guy like Quentin Tarantino- who apparently can't make a movie without that dreaded word- is regarded as a genius. Rap artists use it so routinely, it's almost like the word "The" to them, and they are regarded as 'artists'. Some ass clown like Louis CK uses it with regularity, and he ends up on magazine covers as this comic genius. Yet, in the PAST, Paula Deen used that terrible word that everyone is afraid to utter for fear of who may be lurking nearby, ready to swoop down and brand them racist, and she is utterly destroyed.
Either that word is ok for everyone to use, or it's not ok for anyone to use. Frankly- I think it would be fine if it was the latter.
