Normalizing the use of the word removes its power. We should normalize its use.

It reminds me of an episode of Star Trek TOS when space Abraham Lincoln calls Uhura a negress and she just laughs it off because the word has no meaning anymore. That's what we should be striving for. Not ruining someone's life or livelihood over its utterance.
