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

Bottom line, it's racist or it's not. It's the same word. Slave owners back in the day said it with an A too.
So if I was to greet a person who is asian and I had "Sup chinky?!" would that be bad?
Or if a white guy was called cracka instead of cracker...

He then said he would have his parents file a complaint against me for this.
Let's see how that goes over.

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
