Where is the posotive option to say that it shouldn't be changed at all untill people who fit the "N" word stop saying it.

Black people calling eachother "N"'s every second of the day, and for some odd reason it isn't considered a racist remark.

There's no little spaces in between... It's either racist and should not be said, or it's ok and everyone can say it...

Same reason, if you call some white guy a cracker, inbred, white trash, or any other variation of those words... It's not considered a racial slurr?

Bull____, it's either racist or it's not.
So untill other people acknowledge that they're calling eachother a racial slurr... Then i'm exercising my first amendment rights.

Thank you! I've been screamin this for years!!

"Ban" a word form the media? What is this a communist state? There are derogotory words for any race or gender but we haven't banned anything yet. If they want to plead with people not to use a certain word that is fine, but you can't mandate that with a law!

Whether it ends in an A or ER, its still the same word. I dealt with this at the school I work with today. A younger gentlemen was saying he could say it either way since he was black. I told him I couldn't care less about what color he was, and that it had no reason to be said period.

He then said he would have his parents file a complaint against me for this.

Let's see how that goes over.

It's all in how it's meant. If it's said to hurt someone, than it's wrong. If it's said in a friendly way between two black people who are joking around with each other, than I don't have a problem with it. It's kinda like when I'm hangin' out with a buddy and he does something stupid. I can call him a dumb@ss and he knows how I meant it. If I would say that to a stranger, it's a totally different context.

wow!!!
well i disagree wit the kid. im black to and i refuse to say it with the ER. to me, ending in A and ER are to whole different perspectives.

sorry bout the complaint. in all honesty, nothin should happen as what u said is not bad at all. u jus made a point/stated ur opinion.
but in the world we live in today, comments like that can get thrown completely out of porportion.
so g'luck wit that
