I don't know. Would these black people support abolishing the 'nigger' word entirely from convention premises with a civil petition supported by the signature of one or several linguists? Or would they make a violent display of power to abolish it?

As it stands, black people use the word 'nigger' publicly more than non-black people, so that point of view isn't entirely consistent.

I would wait for them to figure it out and call me back when they know the answer. Meanwhile, furry conventions are a place for furry-related stuff, not an ideological battlezone.

As it stands right now, 'nigger' is not always hate speech. Attendees should be welcomed based on whether their behavior is civil, not on what they personally believe.
