The N-word Part 2

The rest of the book to me was just really boring. I thought the begining was very interesting because it talked about the word's history but the rest was just proving his point over and over again. Some of the cases were interesting, but I really didn't see how you could just delete that word from the dictionary. If we do that, i aren't there other offensive words we have to also get rid of? It was really hard to pay attention to parts of the book because they used words far beyond my vocabulary and it started to get monotanous. Over all the book was very informative and it was very interesting to learn about how much a word can effect a society, cause violence, and even bring about legal action.
