The "N-word"

During the episode “The Garden Party”… Wow! I use that a lot, I really like that episode. Anyhoo, during the episode “The Garden Party” Uncle Ruckus decides to sing a completely racist song to all of the guests in an attempt to make the Freeman family sound untrustworthy because they were black. At the end of the horribly choreographed song, a white chick breaks the silence “I think the N-word’s o.k. as long as they say it”. Thus the point I’m trying to make. Is it o.k. to use the “N-word” Although I fully admit to having absolutely no black heritage, I also admit that I use the word. As Gin Rummy explained, I used the term to describe an ignorant motherfucka, which can be anyone of any race. Where my opinion really stands, just because you donated to Collin Powell, doesn’t mean you’re not racist, and just because you’re black doesn’t mean that you’re the only person who can use the word in sentence. Really…? If you’re going to use that argument, whose Bobby Seal and Huey Newton? And yes, it was initially a good thing. A person’s freedom of speech is something I really think should be exercised. However, use some common courtesy. If it’s really offending the vast majority and it’s pissing off people who normally wouldn’t care because you’re offending other people, shut-up and don’t be a dick! (Seriously, if I offend anyone, let me know. It is not my intent.)
