Easily the most inflammatory, shocking and historic word in the English language, the N word has smoldered in the American psyche for over a century.
It has morphed from a source of hate, degradation and embarrassment to a term of endearment used amongst the many races of young people.
But is that OK?
Surf the web or eavesdrop in the lunchroom and you will find the N word is alive.
Has overuse removed its horrific origins; has it lost its power to insult and enrage?
Given the word’s continually shifting use, The N Word is a brave and bold confrontation of the taboo, exploring the history and relevance of the word and the social status within and between races.
The N Word ignites the conversation.
Let the debate begin!
