Just WHAT is the so-called N-word that they are talking about? Why have an article about something which goes unnamed?

It doesn't involve US soldiers committing attrocities, so you'll just have to use your imagination.

Actually, I used "the N-word" on this forum once (I was quoting a line from the original "Bad News Bears") and didn't even get suspended.

Kinda sorry to see Will Smiths name lumped in there. I always had a little bit of respect for him because he never said a cuss word in any of his rap songs... oh well... my list of respectable blacks gets smaller on it's own pace.

Like sands through the hour glass....

What if a white guy calls a white guy a "Nigga" for fun, is it racist?

No, it's stupid!

Nevertheless I posted a legitimate news article here years ago about the word being used in some advertising in Australia and it quickly got heave ho. Subsequently we all had a chat on other threads about it in careful roundabout way.

Did YOU get the heave-ho, or did the article?

"Mind of Mencia" on Comedy Central. On one of his shows, Carlos mencia went out on the street and asked blacks what was the difference between "N----" and "Nigga". Very funny segment.

I aint no honkey. I'm the "Head whitey in charge" or at least thats how a mexican introduced me to another mexican in the office last year. And I'm not actually in charge of anything.

I've seen it happen and still do see it happen.

If someone black is around, they get ticked off fast.

I've seen a few fights break out over it too.

Nominated for an Oscar? Disgusting!

I don't intend to watch the Oscars this year anyway, but if I had even been thinking about it, reading those lyrics would make me tune out.

It's all so perverse this year!
