Some black guy called me a stupid nigger today

[binö]

???

a weak attempt on my part to demonstrate how northern "whites" look down upon southern "whites" and demean them by calling them rednecks/hicks/peckerwoods.
failed for the most part sorry

Black, Urban culture cannot embrace and celebrate the word while at the same time deciding only certain races can use it, doesn't work that way.

The word is either acceptable for all to use or it is unacceptable.

One another note, get over it, still just a word.

Racism would not stop if suddenly all white people or everyone stopped using the word, especially since there is such a rediculous double standard. Making an issue out of a word is just a distraction to the underlying problems and a porr one at that.

While I do agree with some of your statement (the bolded part) I must humbly take issue with the whole "word" arguement. We all know that actions speak louder than words, however, we must not forget that the pen is mightier than the sword.

It has always puzzled me why some choose to use that power to incite hatred and violence. Why not use that power to have a positive on those that read your words? (Not saying you specifically MM).

The whole societal acceptance and proliferation of hatred towards ANYONE is far more complicated than the use of any one word. But still, doesn't the longest journey begin with a single step?

so, i say nigga and feel absolutly zero negativity about it.
fuck i was raised on that word, listening to rap music

My 11 year old daughter came home and called me her favorite "N-a" last year. I asked her where she heard the word. It seems a few of her friends heard the word and passed it along the group.Know what I did? I got on the phone with each of the parents!

A few weeks later, I picked up 2 of the 4 kids, and took them to the Black Heritage Museum to have them experience history and "real" music.

I wish my daughters had friends who had moms like you.
