Default The "N" word

Last night's Boston Public and this thread about the best (funniest) Pulp Fiction lines got me thinking about the dreaded "N" word. What are your thoughts on the word and its uses?

I can't imagine using that word. Blacks don't call each other that much anymore.

I voted for option 1, but I should qualify that by saying I feel the same way about the 'f' word, and a certain 'c' word too - it aint a race thing, it's a matter of respect for those within earshot...

Play basketball with a majority black group twice a week, have many black friends, and my workout partner is black/ they say the "n word" quite often. Just listen to a few rap CD`s that the radio will not play.
