This is one of the biggest problems with the world today.
A word is not offensive only the context that the word is used, is offensive.
And as far as "just when white people say it" I've been called everything under the sun at work (law enforcement) by every race out there. The door swings both ways, but it's only bad when "the white devil" does it?

That's the problem, it's "sorta more accepted" by others. It shouldn't be.

Why are we so afraid of saying that word.
It's ****** a slang word from the word Negro. We (white people) will say "that deroggatory term" or anything else but the word.
And this is why I hate this f-ing word so much. Because I can put any rap CD in my CD player and hear it 1000 times in 60mins. But we can't say it once in an intelligent conversation in a non hateful way.
that "word"!

Alright, alright, alright,
It was fun while it lasted. I take full responsibility for it getting out of hand.
There's more than that which is wrong in this world.
We could get into a 10 page discourse thread on the arguments, counter arguments, and segue arguments....and get nowhere.
While we're at it, let's talk about why po' folks just won't go find a job. Maybe we can solve how a country of millions of people can be so gullible or rendered so powerless by one man (any dictator's name here) so he can run rampant and kill thousands of men, women, and children at a time.
....or you can click on the joke and enjoy it or not click on it and yet somehow enjoy this thread with a semi-detached perspective.
