conclusions

the survey data in post 4 (survey) show's that there are more blacks using the n word than the whites 85% white never use the word but only 20% blacks never use it the majority of the blacks use it daily and only 3% white use it daily. that's just the few of the most important uses of the n word. In my published source i talked about the former rapper kurtis blow wanted to have a mock funeral for the word and then start having rappers influence the kids to do good things in their music and not just get rid of the use of all curse words. I think the readers should research how much influence other people have on them. My research shows how badly used the n word is used and it's trying to teach me and my peers that the way we use the n word is the real meaning of the word so we really don't know what we are saying since we made our own definition of the word. my sources has answered my research questions in a way it show that white people don't use the n word as much at all so that's a reason why are friends are who we are.

published source

in this post I'm going to summarize this article i read it was saying how that the birth of the n-word is totally different from the n-word today and kurtis blow was saying how he wanted to have a mock funeral for the word because it is getting out of hand how our generation uses it and other races are starting to use it like it's a good word to say but at the same time it still has that pain to to because you cant get rid of the pain of the word he also says that it's not just the n-word that needs to disappear and that they should stand up and make a change to all the entertainment to where they can have a positive thing to stereo type instead of curse words

research question

Does the way we talk affect who our friends are?
Why and how does it affect our friendships?

topics and goals

this topic is about does language affect who our friends are? I say yes, because at my school it is fifty percent white fifty black and i only see the whites hanging out with only the whites and the blacks with the blacks and i was wondering if that was because of the way our language is towards each other and i know that the blacks use the word nigga and the whites don't say it at all so I'm thinking that's it because a long time ago they were raised to call us niiga so now that racism is over they have problems with saying it because they feel its going to affend us but it doesn't affend me because i call my brother and peers nigga all the time but this is not just about the word nigga its about all words slang and all blacks tend to curse or be loud and i feel thats a reason why the don't come around us as much i cant really say much about the whites because I'm in this situation now
