I'm on her side regarding this issue. She was making a philosophical point and in the context she was speaking in, she was right in saying the word! I mean why say the "N" word. Just say the word and keep it moving. There is no such thing as the "N" word. It's either ******/NIGGA or it's not. I'm amazed at how backwards and polictically correct we've become at the expense of real diaglogue & action.I find it hard to believe that instead of debating what she was discussing, we are debating the use of the word ******! Say what you want, how you want but we as black people use the word all the time. Not all of us but many of us do. Another example of us geting upset over something somebody else says when we say it too our selves all the time. Here is a personal fact.
I've never been called a ******/nigga to my face or within earshot other than by another black person. No chines, jew, white, redneck, donkey, horse, rubber ball, etc..etc.. Not onetime in my life have I ever been called a nigga/****** by my own peeps. How of ya'll have similar stories?
