I was listening to a news clip concerning the issue of using the "N" word and "Cracker". The blacks were saying "Cracker" is not racial and only black people can use the "N" word.
One of the women (white) being interviewed is in a bi-racial marriage with bi-racial children. She wanted to know when it was okay for her husband to use the "N" and she not. She went on to ask, "What do your children do with the hip-hop rap songs that use that word? Are they able to sing along with the song?"
It is my contention that if people are so up in arms about the use of the "N" word, then EVERYONE needs to stop saying it. It's the same as using the "B" word. If women want men to stop calling them a "B", then they also need to refrain from using the word themselves.

well. I cant control the word, but I dont allow the word to be used around me. I have issued the ultimatum to close family that if they percisted in using the word, then we would stop being around them. Our children will not be around them even if that means stopping to be at family gatherings.
the nonsense stopped. I attend church with many African American people. These are my chruch family. While I have not been confronted with a situation where one of them were to use the word around me, I can assure you that if that were to happen, I would most certainly tell them not to use the term around my family. not even once. I would do it as nicely as possible, but we just arent going to be around it.
more people should take that approach.
