Defining the N-Word

On the show, the intention of the word was spoken about, but not too much the meaning. The N-Word has been used to refer to Black people as being ignorant. If people do not explore outside of their own culture, do not understand differences and use terms that carry hurt and are degrading by any means, they only show their ignorance. Language can be the the largest means of communication or barrier and such words will only continue discriminate and be a constant reminder of a painful memory. Why continuously open a wound, you are trying to heal?

Worried to Death

I picked the worst time ever to leave my job with nothing in line, but I felt my health failing. I have spent so much money to go to school and it never seems to be enough. The workplace is full of ego maniacs that make coming to work a living hell. Also, people are so insensitive to your financial state. I worried with a child last year whose father committed suicide, because he couldn't see a way out. I am trying to work through this, but I am tired of feeling under valued as an employee and grinning and bearing it all. I know there is an opportunity out there for me.
