I don't think I called you "racists" (it should have been singular, 'racist' but I get the point. BUT...if the shoe fits wear it.

You can use the 'word' all you want. You might not win friends and influence people but you certainly can use it.

Gosh...I must have missed the speech where he suggested reparations, I'd love to read about it though could you post a source for that?

With a comment like that I'd be surprised to see if anyone cares what comes out of your mouth. How old are you anyway?

I don't think it's a big deal; he was "referring"
to the word, not actually "using" it.

Since Obama is not a "brother" can he use it as a brother might or does it sound a bit bigoted coming out of his mouth?

They don't "own" the word. There are a lot of respectable black people in this country who refrain from using it and don't take kindly to fellow blacks who also use it. Just because it's popular in the black youth and inner city culture doesn't make it ok throughout the entire black community.

He's also half white, so he's also not allowed to use the N word. Are there any more double-standards you'd like to endorse and perpetuate?



It's a shame that when the President of United States of America uses a racial slur, people rush to defend him rather than criticize him for conducting himself in a manner unbecoming the office to which he was elected.

The solution to that is to stop trading with companies who pull this BS.

Remember back when stores made a big deal about the fact that they had stopped selling AR15 rifles? They have quietly begun selling them again. The same cycle is underway with items featuring the Confederate battle flag, and will happen again in the future with the next item that becomes popular to publicly hate.

Absolutely correct ! If blacks want that word to disappear, then they need to stop saying it so often themselves. I have heard even small black children calling each other that name, and you know they learned it at home.

As for Obama saying it, he is right. He was making point and he has never been afraid to speak the truth, regardless of how it might shock some. Besides, what are people going to do ? Fire him ???

I still like the guy..........he doesn't mince words.

There are blacks where I work who say this out loud when taking to another black person. What's sad is that the whites laugh in spite of how stupid it really is. Just it's not just blacks it's those white people who seem to cheer them on. And to make matters worse IF you say anything about it then YOUR the racist.
