This story consist of a lady who part of a organization named STRIVE and in this organization one of the creators and bosses, Rob Carmona, called one of his employees ,Ms. Brandi Johnson, the "N" Word. My argument with this article is that black people use the "N" word to be offensive only when its convenient for them. I do not think the jury should have awarded her 280,000 dollars over a "Racial Slur" that comes from someone of your same decent. I feel that if her personal friend was to call her the N word she would not take this any kind of way this was all a ploy to get her free money. This is newsworthy because the N word is a still a national issue that's why i feel this an relevant to write about because I feel that the word is just a word but others take it to offense. The question is this word that big of an issue to the price of 280,000 dollars , I don't think so. I think that it was unjust to try to make an example out of Mr. Carmona and it shows how our justice tries to settle national issues by making examples and over punishing individuals. People use this word daily not to offend others but as a greeting and term of endearment so who is to say what is offense and what is not.
