They used to teach us as kids that all the power a word has, is all the power we give it.
If words like “nigger” weren’t forbidden, I wouldn’t really have an interest in saying them. I like to attempt to describe things more than I like to summarize them in epithet. But, banned words are the same thing as burnt books.
