The nerve of these people. I believe in the first amendment. Do you? CNN's feral Don Lemon needs a reality check. What we are witnessing is a modern day witch hunt on a successful white woman. As a poster stated "Paula Dean admittedly said '******' 24 years ago when a ****** pulled a gun on her. She was justified in saying that and I hope her sales on Amazon continue to explode". I totally agree. Again ladies and gentlemen, this is about the first amendment and we can't be dictated by a group of people how we talk.
In 6 minutes, William Shatner explains the problem we have with a certain type of people in society. And please watch and listen real good. It might be touchy to some but IT IS the truth.
I watched that panel as it happened and IMO it wasn't explosive at all, they were all on the same side and it wasn't an angry discussion at all. The white woman on the panel is married to a black man who uses the word with his friends, and their mixed race son wondered if he should say it too. The other guy didn't issue some angry command, he just basically said no one needs to say it, just don't go there. He didn't say it should be banned or people punished somehow if they say it or anything like that. Conservatives reaction is making a mountain out of a molehill.
I think the "n" word should be out but also all the racist words like honkkie, cracker, redneck, anglo, whitey, gringo, should be given the same censorship.

CNN got the desired response from you. they accomplished their goal of having you spread their namebrand around.
That is their true agenda. Money. If you want serious debate on race and the first amendment...I dont really know where you are gonna find it. But It isn't here or on CNN.
If a word is inappropriate for one race to say, it is inappropriate for every race to say. That is what true equality is about, the same rules for everyone.

If you notice that all the words you used are visable. meaning that somaeone has deemed them not offesive. Offesive words are like
****, ******, *******, or ******...Just for the record I covered all peoples and sexual orientations. I didnt want to leave anyone out.

go up to a black person and call him the n word. see what happens.
on the most basic level i would agree with you, but different people have different feelings they put behind words.
