So can I, but that doesn't mean what I suggest is wrong > RT @johnlegend @piersmorgan I can think of countless things that would help more.

@piersmorgan Assume black people stopped saying the word, and then white people had no excuse to say it, what exactly would that solve?

@piersmorgan That's why it's a useless suggestion that completely misses the real issue. Thanks for trying though, I guess.

@johnlegend @piersmorgan but honestly where is the plane

@johnlegend @piersmorgan you have to admit though Mr Legend...removing the word from everyone's vocabulary is a good, and necessary, step.

@stephengunter @piersmorgan It's debatable whether it's even marginally helpful. Most definitely not necessary.

@johnlegend @stephengunter @piersmorgan Changing language will not end racism. Ending racism will change language. #itsnotthatcomplicated

@johnlegend @TheBeatnikBill @piersmorgan oh this should be grand.

@johnlegend @piersmorgan no one wants the job of stopping racism to fall on them. Piers' idea has merit. Why discount it immediately, John?

@Rebeksy @johnlegend @piersmorgan who are non-black people outside of the black experience to decide what is good for the black community?

@Queen_Bii__ @johnlegend @piersmorgan so we shouldn't try to help in any way shape or form...

@johnlegend he can only offer a solution for racism insofar he recognises where his experiences would make him valid to do so

@johnlegend @piersmorgan name them then.
