I am sorry, I just learned what discrimination is and was taught wrong about it before, thanks for clearing it up!
I could use something to replace discrimination in my post, not sure which phrase thou.
EDITED the definition, thanks.

That is not true, just because people use the word wrongly, doesn't mean the word gets a new definition.
"Noun
1. The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as...
2. Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.
"
Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster both agree with this definition. Lots of words have multiple meanings.

You know, back in the 1940's and 50's.
Not all whites are at the top of the social ladder. There exists racism against whites, so why can't there be a white support organisation? If NAACP is all about getting coloured people to the top of the social ladder, why can't there be an organisation to get whites who are at the bottom to the top too?

Which is why I'm trying to help you understand why organisations like that exist.
Racial matters are only a social wall if people want to....like everything else with will fall in such routine it will become normal.
Racial slurs for me are more then normal and i do say them in a jokeing matter, but there are alot of white knight wannabees and "moralfags" that think that what they see is wrong.
Also black people protect themselfs behind it now... it has no value to me at least.
Ignorant people they are, black people in south africa are extremely racist to the non black people there...so yeah, hipocrits.
tl;dr: Its only bad the more you want it to be.

I am fairly sure that almost everyone who uses the n word knows that the word is referring to black people. Am I wrong?
Do you want to remove the freedom of speech? Just so you don't have to hear that word? Should be ban more words because they don't fit your taste?
Could you describe why you think racism is bad? If I say that asians are really good at making sushi, but europeans are horrible at it, does that make me racist?
