That's awful. I'm sorry that happened to her.

This isn't about comparisons; it's about the tragic history the word holds. I'm not holding whites accountable for my grandmother. Just people need to be more culturally/racially sensitive to others.

So does one have to be "on par" with one of the greats of our time to be talented? Despite being a better guitar player than 99.9% of the people on this planet, I will openly admit that Eddie Van Halen is better than me. Am I a no talent bum just like Bieber?

I agree! WHO CARES who said what and who was offended!
I'm getting sick and tired of these witch hunts trying to find something someone said that could potentially offend someone else.

I've said it before: Tanner Boyle was right!!!! (Bad News Bears reference).

Oh come on the kid was like 14 when he said this. Not only that he's from Canada where Black people don't exist.

Black people call themselves that every day.

So just because a select group of blacks use that slur, it gives white people the idea that it's OK to disregard the blacks who don't use it and use it???
