In this episode, we discuss the n-word. We examine how and why it can stir up such strong feelings where other words cannot. Furthermore we cite examples of how to challenge the language used so freely by well-meaning folks so that we all can move toward a world free of hurtful language, prejudices, and stereotypes.
