It's not that you can't say it, it's that you shouldn't expect to say it without consequence. So just go around calling black people whatever you want, but don't cry when somebody makes an issue of it.

My point EXACTLY!!. I thought of every hate slur and racist words as I could for whites and even on here they aren't censored.

If racist slurs should be censored everywhere, they should be censored for everyone, all racist slur words should be censored. I'm fine with censorship actually -- censor other vulgar words like the "f" word and words pertaining to private body parts and functions.

Yesterday,I saw this documentary on YouTube called Slave Narratives. The usage of the N word during those times was so bad so terrible so painful. I hate to hear rappers and people in general throw that world around. Its disgusting and its origin is painful. But most people don't care what can we do :-/

That won't work since many of us "whites" refer to our own as "anglos" here in Arizona and "Redneck" IS becoming quite PC now with even some Black people calling themselves that.

As parents you can use a bar of soap and make sure kids know certain words are off limits. I grew up not using vulgarities of any kind. The problem when parents won't discipline, kids add certain words to their vocabularies and become so used to saying them and then as adults they only begin to realize there are consequences -- but by then these words have become habits -- and that's often what they are. A white kid listening to black rap might think a word sounds okay to use, the only thing the parents can do is show him it's not. For his own good.

It can then be like the "n" word is for blacks -- THEY can use it on themselves, no one else can. No other race should be calling whites those racist slur words. I never would use those terms -- except maybe redneck which can be seen as a good word.

buck davis made a good point. the last thing a black heard before he was being lynched by whites was the n word.

means different things to different people. i dont think whites should be clamoring to use the word.

I don't want to be like England who bans offensive language.
I support the Freedom of Speech and your right to call me any offensive name you think I deserve to be called.

I don't give a crap but if you do it in public you might get slapped with a slander suit.

Yeah to the Freedom to be Offensive whether you're Black or White.

i would agree witht that. people can say what they want, but if they call me the n word that means they cant be offended by my reaction of my fist slamming into there face.
