An early Season 2 episode will delve into the racial slur. “We wanted to do it last year, but we felt like it might have been low-hanging fruit for us,” says creator Kenya Barris. “But in this off-season, you’ve seen where we’re at. As we’re supposed to be evolving, (racism) is still rearing its ugly head constantly. So we felt like the word was still timely.”

It's taken time but I've started to warm up to the show, and holding back on discussing the N-word was a smart move considering the show is still trying to find its legs.

I would sleep better at night if it was cancelled

OMG! I laughed from beginning to end. Great season premiere! Laurence Fishburne/Pops is amazing, as always ("You smell like wide-open ass, boy!"). :lol:

The WORD episode used a careful measure of edginess, discretion and comedy.

There should be a show called The N Word.
