    There have been plenty of threads talking about Khaled and Joe saying '? '. Where you been at, fam? Cats aren't as up in arms about it as V-Nesty, but then again the history of oppression, ownership, physical intimidation and violence, institutionalized discrimination, etc, against blacks wasn't at the hands of Arabs or Latinos, was it?

    Was this a rhetorical question, cause the ? seems like common sense to me. Not saying that it's right, but if you really don't understand why people are more sensitive to a white girl saying '? ' that other people of color...then you aren't very intelligent. But I don't think that's the case.

    Cose thread.

    this is the dumbest ? ever... you can't have it both ways... I'm not cool with anyone saying it... Anyone that is not cool with v-nasty saying it should go just at hard at Khalad or Fat Joe but they don't for reason i'm trying to but can't understand... like Game, game called those girls out, how come he don't call out Khalad to?

    Maybe you lack the brainpower to understand, let me explain one more time for the deaf, dumb, and blind.

    I repeat: I don't agree with anybody saying it but I'm smart enough to know the difference between my extended family saying it and you and A white ? saying it.


    When you crackas say the word it sounds like my grandfather being mutilated on a southern plantation.


    It sounds like The Tuskegee experiment

    It sounds like Cointelpro

    It sounds like attack-dogs and water-hoses being used on peaceful demonstrators marching for equal rights.

    It sounds like the assassination of Fred Hampton

    ......it sounds like the Neo-Nazis.


    Yeah I don't need to hear a white cracka say ? at all because it sounds a lot different coming from his mouth than the extended family of minorities that use the word.

    Let's be realistic, B. The average American doesn't know and doesn't care about that. The Transatlantic Slave trade is what brought the slaves to this country and was responsible for instituting the cycle of oppression of black people by white people that is still taking place. That's why ? is wildin' over V-Nasty. You're a pretty savvy poster, B. Let's not play games. I know you know that.

    Again, not saying it's right, but ? in here acting clueless.

    given that a good portion of Latinos, not spanish people spanish=Spain, are black it serves no purpose to say "they can't say ? "...for all that just make the thread "Why is anybody not African-American allowed to say ? "

    and let me explain again for the deaf dumb and blind.... I'm black not white, I don't agree with anyone saying it nor is there any justification you can make or try to understand why someone of "Palestinian" descent is viewed as okay to say the word... and for you to go on and pretty much say it "sounds better" coming out of the mouth of someone of spanish or middle eastern descent pretty much ends this conversation of ours smh

    so you are saying you're okay if the person some how has a black person in their blood line?... so if V-Nasty's great great great grandfather was black it would be okay for her to say the word? you would consider it "kool"?

    There's been this huge backlash about V-Nasty using the N-Word in hip-hop... But why and the hell can Dj Khalad someone of Palestinian descent us the word openly? Or Fat Joe even... Is it okay for any other race except for whites to use it in a non-derrogatory way?

    Apparently.

    I'm an Afrikan-American so that's my frame of reference. You got these clueless avatars that are so clueless they deserve to be sterilized and lobotomized.

    Puerto Ricans didn't bomb a church in Alabama and ? 3 little Black girls because of their skin color

    Palestinians didn't gouge out Emmit Till's eye-? and drown him in a swamp for whistling at a white ?


    When the white-American calls you a "? /ni99er:


    It sounds like gentrification

    It sounds like Racial profiling DWB

    It sounds like all-white juries

    It sounds like predatory lending targeting Blacks

    It sounds like the ? Brotherhood



    Yeah I don't need to hear a white cracka say ? at all because it sounds a lot different coming from his mouth than the extended family if minorities that use the word.

    I think more black people should respond to the "n" word in the same manner that white people respond to that word. I havent seen one white person get offended when a black person says that.


    I know the history is different but people especially ignorant people don't deserve that much of a response. The more someone can affect you, the more power they have over you.

    Msleading lemme give u an example of what can happen to u. Say u have a 5 year old child. They come home from school crying saying everybody in class was laughing and calling me a ? . What does that mean mommy? Do u tell him just to ignore it or do u get serious and go up to school and let them know this ? is not gonna keep happening and if it does there is gonna be a problem?

    This ain't the 50s and nobody is gonna call me out my name with consequences
