The word "N-word" is a word with a lengthy and complex background in America. It has been used an insult to African Americans for centuries, and its usage is still controversial today. However, in recent times there has been an increase in the usage of n word pass- the card that is believed to grant permission for non-black individuals to use the term without facing consequences. What is the source of this idea? come from? And how does it relate to engineering? In this blog post we will explore the engineering precision behind the N-word pass card and it's social implications.

The N-word card is not a new concept. It's been around for years, but has gained attention with the rise of social media platforms such as Twitter as well as Instagram. These cards are typically designed by non-blacks who feel entitled to use the N-word because there are black people in their lives or enjoy rap music. They argue that if blacks can say it, then why can't they?

What many do not recognize is that language carries significance and power that goes beyond dictionary definitions. The N-word carries centuries of brutality and oppression against African-Americans in America. It was used as a means to denounce them during slavery and continues to be used to denote insults to black people today.

What role does engineering play in all of this? Let's take a look at what goes into the creation of an N-word pass card.

First, there's precision forging - creating something with extreme accuracy and detail. In this case it is the creation of the physical or digital version of an "N-word" passcard with specific wording such as "This person has permission to say the N-word." This precise language implies that there are rules or guidelines to using this word when it is not the case that there will be any exceptions.

The second is socially designing - shaping something to suit a specific social setting. N-word pass cards are frequently designed and then shared through social media platforms, where they can quickly become viral and seen by hundreds of people. This allows for the common usage of the word "N-word," as it is described as a casual and normal act to perform.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the N-word pass card may appear to be a harmless gag that is trending in social media but have more serious implications regarding racism in America. The precise technology behind these cards propagates harmful ideas about language ownership and entitlement and socially, they normalize using a word with so much history of violence against black people.

As engineers, we need to be aware of how our creations can impact society beyond their original function. We should also be aware of our privilege and try to create a welcoming environment that is open to all, without regard to race or ethnicity. Let's use our skills for good instead of creating harmful systems of oppression.
