Via BBC -
The resolution to ban the so-called "N-word" is largely symbolic as it carries no weight in law and those who use the word would face no punishment.
But it reflects a growing unease that the racial slur is now part of everyday conversation and that the taboo against its usage has been swept away.
The word is in common usage among sections of the younger generation in the United States.

While I agree that the word shouldn't be used, I don't believe that making it illegal is the best way of dealing with the issue.
IMHO, this is double-plus ungood.
