Nigga is not the "N" word.

Has anyone got a copyright on "Cracker" yet? I'm gonna stick it on some T-shirts and make a few bucks.

Interesting clip, I wonder if the school will be suspending the students who say the '..gga' word just as it did the teacher that used it.

Sounded like the nerdy teacher was just trying to be hip with his young students. ...well, he got the education this time.

"Also how does "people of color" be a mark of distinction but "colored people" be a slur?"

Funny you should mention that. I was just thinking about that yesterday when some idiotic liberal used the term. Maybe they don't understand that words are meant to identify and describe, and "color(ed)" is descriptive and means the exact same thing, no matter which way it is said. The only difference is on who's got the power. Any time the term "people of color" is used, it means that power has either been exercised or surrendered.

You'd better talk with Mr. Jack as in Mr. Cracker Jack. :)

Copyrighting the N-bomb? Negroe, please.

(...I don't think they can do it, but I'm not taking any chances...)

The only time I hear the real N-word is when it's uttered by young blacks talking to each other on the subway.

Nigga is not the "N" word.

And MoFo isn't the "Mother......" word, but everyone knows the connotation. What's your point?

Amazingly, use of the "N" word will get you banned on this forum.

As well it should.

Us good "white" conservatives consider the word offensive.....

It IS offensive.

Agreed. I was taught to never use it, apparently all things change. Nigga is now OK. Ebonics and patents overcome common sense and good manners.

And yes, I expect this thread to be pulled....

No, seriously, if this isn't "just damn"-worthy, I'm not sure I know what is.

Same double standard by which muslims can depict Mohammed but infidels cannot (even if they are not being insulting).

You might hear the word if you listen to interviews with Senator Byrd. He still uses the word and defends its use by saying their are "White N....s" too.

Mr. Crouch speaks for millions of well-educated, decent, responsible blacks who deplore the curent state of black pop culture.

Unfortunately, whenever anyone tries to reverse the current trend, they are shouted down. The Gangstas manage to have the last word, and it is always a four-letter one.

You know what kills me is that everyone is so scared of the "N" word - but using the Lord's name in vain is considered socially acceptable.
