ENG 3US9

November 17th ,2011 Words can inform our mind, caress and comfort our feelings, excite and thrill our spirit, or warm and kindle the flame of our hearts. They can also slap our face, punch us in the stomach, rattle our nerves, kill our desire, or destroy our self-confidence. Of course this is metaphorical, but these metaphors capture in words our physical reactions to what is said, and that is the power of words. Through the word “Nigger”, as we know in the past, racism is showed by the word “Nigger”. No one wants to be called “ Nigger” because it is a bad word and harmful. It has power to hurt black. Because of that, the white people look down the black people. They are treated unfair and their speech doesn’t have value in society. Just one word but it affect to people who heard it. That word reminds their past. It is very mean to call some one with that word
