Totally agree with you. Rep +1.

It honestly doesn't bug the hell out of anyone else that every other thread on here is about black people, but it's never started by a black person?

I believe that the Mississippi state flag still has the confederate battle flag represented. So I would say that the N word is worse

I would call it comical, but it's gotten past the point of obsession.

you remind me of that saying that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. you know that is a lie.i guarantee you there are some choice words that would hurt and or send you realing if said to you . you are not perfect are beyond having your felling hurt or are you ?????? the point is not how you would feel behind what you do but how how does the person you are doing it toward or offending feel. that is if you are trying to be a christian.do unto others brother or sister, as you would have them do unto you or yours.

Apparently the Detroit NAACP has no porblem with the Confederate flag.

Silly poll.

The N-Word is worse. It is a shame that a sub culture of music has made the word acceptable.

That word was acceptable in some quarters long before rap (...let's face it, that's what you're talking about) was ever thought of. I heard my parents saying it when i was a kid, and i started using it long before rap became popular.

Besides, back in the Jim Crow days when white use of the word was quite acceptable, how was rap to blame?

Think about what you're saying.
