You are Black and have a degree from a major university, and you saw many other Blacks getting degrees...half of my students are Black. I have NEVER, EVER heard the word n*gger used even in the most casual way between Black students on campus. Did you hear this on the UNC campus? Using this term is a low-life thing to do, educated Blacks or whites DO NOT USE this term...Hispanics do not use the term 'Wetback' as some special term of endearment BTW. Is it acceptable for a Black news anchor to use n*gger? No way.

Now, I have noticed that at the HBC in town terms like this and others are used and that does seem to be acceptable when it is in this closed circle. So it is fine to insult one another and always lower the common denominator? So it is OK to do this and get used to it? And, then when it is time to find a job and life in the society as a whole you wonder why 'they' have not come down to 'your' standards of accepting this word or the use of very poor English? Poor English is not accepted from immigrants from other countries, why should that and the word n*igger be accepted from people already living here?

Default The N word

I do not like this word-I find it derogatory and racist. I think it is used like a grenade to put down a race . I know some black rappers use it- I have wondered are they trying to neutralize the word-take away the vitriol of it from racists by trying to turn it into something meaningless. I cannot figure out why they do this-or are they trying to connote camaraderie in a bizarre way.

I just do not use or think racial slurs-I think they are wrong. We are all the human race.

Fennian your racist words in many of your posts reflect negatively on you and not the people you verbally slur.

FEMINISM... DESTROYING AMERICA

Of course, feminism is not the only influence assaulting the family. The black family in this country used to be relatively stable. Black illegitimacy used to be lower than its white counterpart today. Then the federal government labored night and day to destroy the black family, with considerable success. But feminism is by far the deadliest enemy the family faces.

I want to know why this jerk is allowed to post the most vile postings and no one will call him what he obviously is: A racist. Do you really think by pretending that words mean nothing he is not actually making racist post? Its time to tell this boy that he is nothing more than a racist bigot

Nathan; agreed about fenian. But, the real question is why black people are allowed to say it, but no one else? White people don't call each other honky's.

While that is a valid question the racist words of choice is not the way to ask it. Actually, black people have used that term for themselves for centuries. Read "Uncle Remus" in the original venacular. Joel Chandler Harris wrote the Uncle Remus tales in the language of the black slave known as Uncle Remus. his charecters all call themselves by that word. I think if black people don't have a problem with calling themselves that that is their right. It is also their right to recognize there is a different meaning when used by whites.
