All depends on what your surroundings are. If your not black and you yell out the N word out while surrounded by black people it's a slur AND YOU SHOULD RUN AND PRAY. If your in the presence of someone who has money and you would like some of that money(Tom Cruise, John Travolta) you get the idea, Scientology is the answer too all our questions. Bottom line just depends on who you are, where you are, and what you want.

Wow the "N" word. That is a good question. The "N" word is definitely a racial slur. However in some dictionaries you will find the"N" word and it's meaning will be listed as (to be stupid or a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons).
Scientology from what I know is classified as a reliegion but I consider it a cult.

Yes the "N" word is a racial slur regardless who uses it. I also believe that Scientology is definitely a cult.

It is now because of society. The word comes from "negriod" which means black, It was originally just a statement of fact. And yes, Scientology seems a bit cultish to me.

Racial slur and... well, not a cult, just a system to part people from their money as efficiently as possible.

its all depicited in the ear of whom ever hears it. I don use it, I dont recommend the use of it, but if its not directed towards any one it cannot be offensive. For example the word __________ was used in the 1860s-1970s often to describe people of African american ethnicity

racial slur. White people invented it during black slavery.
