Very valid point my friend and as a black male who was raised to not say that word, and will teach my kids to not say that take a look at these tweets and tell me if these are appropriate. I think Jay Z explains it best when says "if you take the power from the word it means nothing"
However these people sure do make it hard.

Get real.. A white boy saying the "N" word is racist.. Even if black people call everyone that word. Sorry, that's just how it is.
It's like a dude getting a lot of ass is a pimp.. But a girl that get's around is a whore
Danielle Hunter, Jamario Rasco, Anthony FREAK Johnson.. DL wrecking crew of 2013.

Especially because the same few comments are automatically posted in every thread even touching on racism on tBB. Gotta love it.
"If a black guy said/did it, it'd be ok."
"Black people say it all the time!"

My family lives in and is from Pennsylvania (I was raised here in Alabama) and I've met plenty of racist rednecks up there. Bigots are everywhere; they're not a regional phenomenon.

The point a lot of people are missing is He's the President of the United States and was addressing a serious situation, where someone shot and killed 26 people the majority were little kids, hey I'm more incensed as acBlack Male that this young man was so concerned about watching football that at no time was he concerned about what had happened, This World has gone crazy,when little kids are getting Slaughtered and then we get mad at the President,I just don't get it.

My question is why do white people WANT to be able to say that word so much?
Deserve got nothing to do with it...

I dont think that we "WANT" to say the word but it is hypocritical for anyone to say it to another and not be mad but when is called one by someone and then gets mad and wants to play the victim role gets annoying.

There is a history and subtext to the word that as a white guy I just accept I don't need to be saying it. There are so many other things for me to be annoyed by.
