"Nigga" or "Nigger"? Racial slur or term of endearment? The n-word has long been a serious topic of debate amongst blacks. Civil rights activists such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton feel the word is an abomination and should never be used by anybody. African-American rappers, comedians and those from the younger generation feel the word has been stripped of its venom and is now harmless. Other races make the argument that since blacks use it endlessly to refer to themselves that it should be okay for everyone. RealTalkNation goes deep to get to the heart of the matter with a real discussion on the n-word and what it means today in America with guest, author/activist Dr. Earl Ofari Hutchinson.
