It isn’t enough to have children and want to see them make a difference in the world, keep your family name going or push them to do better than you’ve done in life, out of love of self and love for your child. No, it isn’t that simple anymore (was it ever?).

NYC Council Member Leroy G. Comrie Jr. is leading the charge on the ban of the N-Word. After hearing black youth on a street in queens it seems as though with what time he has on his hands will introduce a bill to ban the word.
