question.

jus wanted to kno some peeps view on banning the N word.

if you all dont know, peeps such as Rev Jesse Jackson are trying to get the N word banned and they plan on starting with hip-hop.

how do u guys feel bout this?
feel free to comment, regardless of ur race

i am black, and personally, i have no prob with the word as long as it is said ending in A and not ER.

 

uhhh... who cares... if you got rid of ______, what about wop, *****, ____, spic and all the other ones. and you take get rid of a word. because there will be alot of people still using it. maybe you meant banning it from the media? i don't think he can. jesse jackson. you sir are dumb.

 

I dont feel that the word should be banned. Im white but I have quite a few friends that are black. We all joke around and Im always saying that they my N***as and vice versa. They call me a crackerjack or their white-n*gga. Its all just friendly words.

 

ahhh yes... of course the N word becomes ignorant person on the filter. but ***** and ____ stay the same. how awesome is scionlife.

it must be because of the ***** noise and a ____ slimey sound.
and i'm sure people use that everyday...pffff.

 

yea ban from the media.
which they believe will lead to the word being used less to hopefully not at all

 

agreed

 

i'd use it more. just cuz i wouldn't hear it as much.

 

Friggin Jesse Jackson!! He ____es me off sometimes!! I don't think it should be banned. I have NO problem with it unless it ends in ER. I'm not okay with Eminem saying it on that note. To get rid of it in rap musik?? That's some crap. Jesse Jackson, go do something worth people's while.

 

There are two points I'd like to make about this:

1. Neither Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton have any business calling themselves "Reverend". That title should be reserved for men who devote their lives to preaching and teaching the word of God. Those two have only shown an interest in political gain through social and racial division.

2. They plan to start with hip-hop?!?! Good luck!!!

 

Hey Special you have a PM

 

the n word is bleeped out on rated versions of tracks.

i agree that it's all about context... it's part of hip hop and i don't see anything wrong with it if it's in a track in a non racial way. i have an asian friend that doesn't even listen to hip hop and not even in the urban culture that uses it at times when talking with his friends and i always give him a dirty look for it.

 

lol, i agree.
i laughed when i heard about taking it away from hip-hop.
me and my bro were talkin bout it. it jus wouldnt be the same.
so far, one person has agreed to not use the N word while they rap and that is Daz. the guy from DPG

 

thats crazy.
i got an email saying that i have a PM
but its not in my inbox.
and my box isnt full

 

they can all get their points across w/o using that word.. but it's a choice they have to make on their own, it's stupid to try to impose your belief on others.

 

I personally do not use the word and I don't like to hear it used. But for some reason, when a black person uses it in a "good natured" way while talking to another black person, I don't have a problem with it. I guess because it's obviously not meant in an offensive way in that context. Does that make any sense?

 

Yeah it makes sense matt

 

paul prob emptied his OUTBOX before you read it. that way it erases it.

 

hmmmm
i neva knew that. thanx for the info

 

post hoe thread jack and Pwoner at yr service

 

Ooops. So thats why nobody ever gets my PM's.
