Let me set the scene for you, you are at a party having the time of your life when your favourite song plays on the playlist. Naturally, you and your friends sing the lyrics word for word as you would but wait a minute, someone in the room drops the N-word!

Here is my take on the N-word and its use in society, it's a lot more complicated than it seems, so hold on to your hats!
