But hey, don’t pay attention to the fact black comedians and rappers use it. That would be RACIST of them!
OR the fact that everyone laughs when they do it or dances to the beat, huh?
It’s yet another example of the double standard. Supposedly the reason blacks can use the word, is because of the context. They aren’t using it as an epitath. They use it as a term of endearment, or punctuation. Therefore, since Dr. Laura used it not as an epitath, but to issustrate a point, where’s the harm? No harm, no foul. The only foul was that it ruffled some feathers of the usual suspects. Unless and until the black community stops using it altogether, it will never go away. They are the ones that brought it back into the lexicon.
