Is there a specific reason that The N Word is blasted out whenever it's said in the movie?

but everything else is either changed or blanked?

i'm black, & last time I check, any cuss word is below that.

It should be blanked in my opinion. simple enough.

if they cut or edit it. the movie would be watered down, and it wouldn't be the same without the vernacular language. despite the fact that the majority content has been edited. the vernacular language plays an important role with the culture. gangs of new york, and friday after next are the best examples.
