re: Using the n-word is the clearest race based double standard in America

I've had a similar experience. In reality, the northern states are more racist now than the southern ones. IMO the most racist cities in America are Chicago, Detroit, and New York.

Boston is probably the most racist city in the country.

I think it's totally stupid that she got suspended but the word should be out by now on three things:

1) Don't use the damn word.

2) Snapchat doesn't mean shite. Somebody saw it, somebody saved it. I don't care if it gets deleted after 3 nanoseconds.

3) If somebody has a camera pointed at you and you're doing something in the least bit objectionable, smash that shite and send them a check later.

The difference b/w a black person using the word and white person using the word is the difference b/w your brother calling your sister/mother a bitch and someone outside the family calling your sister/mother a bitch.

The problem, in many cases, is derived from the individuals personality. I ,personally, don't care if anyone (friend or stranger) calls my mother or sister a bitch because its a word and in no way describes what I know them to be. Someone is just trying to offend me but I don't care to stoop to that level of ignorance. In fact, some times I may play along to make it a non issue

I would suspect the same holds true for a black person who hears the word from a white person. If they are quickly offended, it will cause an issue where the opposite is true if they take it in stride and move on.

To me, it seems to be a personal thing.

I don't know. It depends. Would we be trying to advance our race and better our people, or would we be clinging to the victim card?

Which is exactly why hes wondering what or probably more likely who has ingrained the notion into you that you need to apologize for it? You seem almost embarrassed by the fact that you are white?

---

Who is apologizing for anything?

I just asked why is it so important to use the n word?

I'm not sure.

Yet everyone that's currently in this post says different from your responses.

Jews seem to be doing prett well for themselves

I think you have to be more specific with what Jews you are talking about? I mean black people everywhere else seem to be doing ok too. Which should further show that maybe the "problem" with black people may be an American thing somewhat and not a color of the skin thing.
