Thank you to everyone for coming to my defense.

I live in suburbia. There are black people here. Plenty. I live in the deep deep south. If you want to talk about working hard, I can do that too. My very recent ancestors were pioneers to this area. They came in during the dust storms and somehow managed to grow their food and raise their meat. They lived an incredibly humble life. They are the reason why I live today in "white suburbia". If people want to get out of the ghetto they can. The problem is, just like most of the rest of modern society, they aren't willing to put forth the effort to get out of the ghetto. They grow up with the criminals, they become the criminals, and they stay the criminals. Your statistic is true, not on basis of color, but on basis of effort.

I think that only African American should be able to use that foul word. I think that what they should do is comletely outlaw the "N word". But an abundance of people will still use it. So, there is really nothing that anyone can do about it. It's probably just mearly just one of those phase. For instance, In the 70's they had their weed and their peace signs. After the years passed the abundance of people moved on or grew up. So what I'm trying to say is, After a certain number of years, maybe 10 or 15, the minority of the population will still use it. But most won't use that curse word.

Remember the song "Zoot Suit Riot"?

In the 1930s, Mexican gangsters were stereotypically known to wear a popular piece of clothing at the time, dubbed a Zoot Suit. Zoot Suits had large, loose pants, pinstripes, a hat, and often a wallet chain.

Racist sailors had a common shore-leave pasttime of hunting down these "Zooters" and beating the royal crap out of them, for no other reason than the fact that they were zooters.

After a few years of these Zoot Suit Riots, the government decided to address the problem directly.

They banned Zoot Suits.


I don't think I need to explain the significance of my story.

And now the zoot suits have evolved into hydrolics, grillz, and bling bling.

Outlawing one thing doen't stop the entire problem.

There's no such thing as equality

N* word is racist and black people are idiotic for referring to one another as a N* especially if they think it's not.

And I will call myself idiotic because I say it knowingly.

The N word is only racist because someone decided that it should be racist right around the time of the civil rights movement. Prior to that the word didn't really have racist connotations, and I'd even venture as far as to say that it is comparable to the modern use of the word "black" to refer to a person of African descent.

That's the thing that bothers me. They decided that it was racist. They gave it power to offend over them. The racism wasn't inherent in the word, but black people put it there by being greatly offended by it.

ps this is, of course, assuming that white people didn't somehow coerce black people into being offended at the mere utterance of the word.

I find it increbily hypocritical that, in alot of cases, that some black people (not generalising, merely making the statement as I have seen it happen in person many times) go frigging psycho if you say the N word, yet they can go around saying 'whiteboy' or something similiar and it's all cool and in jest.

Frigging hypocrites, just because your black, doesn't mean people have to bend over backwards to try and not 'offend you' I get pissed off at the amount of times white people are called racist, when alot of the time, white people are on the recieving end and nothing happens.

Oh yeh because white people are a majority...
