I'd like you go get someone to help you do a little test. Put on a couple of hours of daytime talk shows like Jerry Springer or Maury Povich or Judge Judy, and you go into another room. As each guest comes on, and you hear them talking, try to guess what color they are. I bet you'll score at least 90%, maybe 100. Without looking at the screen, how can you possibly know "how much melanin they were born with"?

The answer is, in the USA, in 2010, people born with more melanin BEHAVE differently, and you can tell them by their behavior. Language is learned behavior---you are not born with it. Behavior is what you feel perfectly OK judging people on.

Which white people? I have seen some White people who seem thrilled by it, and in many cases, expect it from Black people

Being a White guy, believe me, most half decent people I know, black or white absolutely despise this garbage.

Some of the little white suburban gangstas want to be like Eminem so they may toss the n word out on occasion.

Now, I understand and agree that the word has a horrible history, but whocares?? Why do white people want to be able to say this word?? That is what I don't understand. What is the big deal?? And why because white people "can't" say it (they can say what they want really), should the word be banned from existence?? Also, of all the issues in the black community to give a damn about, why this one??

Thanks, my white peeps )
Personally, the "N" word was/is never allowed in my house. Neither is the "B" word (referring to women).

Indeed, black people do refer to themselves as "*****" and women call themselves "b#%ch" but I believe it is wrong to cross the race/sex line in that regard.

Certain words reflect hate and intend to hurt and belittle, there can be little doubt for those with a conscience. Addressing people by their name is always best.

I am not one for banning any word but I sure wish the use of the N word would cease and desist!
