So basically this thread boils down to "i'm crying because I want to use the n-word."
No. It's just a word. Anyone can use it. It boils down to blacks crying about it when a "racist" white person says it.

quote:Yea, pointing out how any "pro-black" commentary is deemed a "white apologist on behalf of black people" does sound like something a racist white person would do or say, I don't think there's anything illogical about that.

True because the big bad republican party is nothing but racists right? Answer me this, blacks have continually voted in mass for the "Left" or Democrats for 60 years yet this thread is full of the tales of how bad blacks seem to have it in this country? How do you reconcile that? Maybe quit being a part of the mindless herd and think about the definition of insanity? Or just keep blaming whitey whatever sounds more reasonable to you?

You're missing the point. Yeah, it was stupid, racist, and clearly a joke, but why should she get suspended for writing a word that's said thousands of times on campus every day?

Jeez some people just can't take a bad joke. It doesn't even make sense so I don't get why it's being taken seriously. But speaking of seriously, I'm still serious about the whole karaoke thing. yay or nay on being allowed to use the word if I'm doing a kanye song.

I wouldn't say in mass because we don't vote in general if we're being completely honest.

You missed the quotes.
So if a white person uses it then it's racist?
If a black person uses it then it's acceptable? Got it.

I said this for years but gave up. It's just falls on deaf ears. Hopefully you can change somebody's mind on that issue which I failed to do.

Why do you care who cries about it? If you want to say it say it.

Can I call black people "colored"? I mean, that's the official name of the official organization defending only black people." Hey, look at that little colored boy playing in the fire hydrant". Is that okay?

Bottom line: i am fine with the double standard on n word as long as i get to stay white and keep my privilege.

It's, if that's the worst double standard white folks will face, then I think we'll be ok.

I come from a predominantly right family. It just very right wingish of you to generalize a call someone who isn't on whitey's side a "white apologist"
