Isn't the very name of the protest a 'racial' remark in itself?

Finally I'm not alone! I think it is kind of racist, actually it is racist. Just think about it. A whole television network worshiping white people? It would be an outrage! Many black people would call it white supremacy. Am I right? Its ok for blacks to go around shouting "Black Power!" but a white person would be in trouble if they said "White Power!". I think its wrong that another race gets special rights because they've been done extreamly wrong. Don't get it twisted I feel really angry about slavery and segregation. But I think its wrong that Black people get off with some stuff that obviously they shouldn't. Thats just what I think.

Well, I don't know about that but in Chicago it doesn't happen that way. But a lot of people just joke around with those words, because of the rap music and everything. All I know, is that nobody should be called that word based on their skin color. N*gger refers to a ignorant, dirty person and from my experiences anybody can be ignorant and dirty regardless of race.

No, they aren't "just bigots" maybe those people who ask think its a double standard and would like to know why blacks can call each nigga's but a white boy can't. Yet blacks can call white people crackers and thats no big deal.

Because blacks requested it at one time .. that was after they requested that they be called black, people of color, negroes, colored people etc ... at 43 I have seen the "politically correct" requested term change many times .. it is all VERY silly.

I agree with you somewhat....its confusing of how white people should address them: black, colored or african american? All the political correctness is really confusing.

Saying someone is racist is a quick way to get out of a debate if you are losing. just like that english national language bill passed recently. Many people called it "racist" because they were against it. It only damages their own side and makes them lose credibility. I liked when one senator asked "what color is english?"\n\nNow if someone is losing a debate on illegals (can't find positives for illegal immigration) they will say "Well you're just racist!" or "you're a redneck!". They just resort to name calling'\n\n"Because your racist." -- Pancha\n\nsee pancha is probably the worst one on here, all of her posts say what I just pointed out. She either says "you're racist" or "you're a redneck". Even though I live in new england.\n\n\n"primarily because "whites" were the last to have slaves in our country and that wound is still fresh albeit it happened 40 to 50 years ago."\n\nWhat?? Slavery ended in the early 1800s. Hundreds of thousands of white people died in the civil war over it.\n\nAnd your comment about racism still existing. yes it does and we must not put any laws against it. Whether it be black on white or white on black. We can't become anti-freedom of speech.\n\n"Take a trip outside of your safe borders and get a whole new perspective of the WORLD. Then you will begin to see........ if you'r not in denial or a coward."\n\nYeah we are not talking about third world countries, we are discussing people selfishly using the race card in the USA to win arguements.\n\n"IF YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE I'M VERY SURE YOU WOULD NOT BE COMPLAINING ABOUT PULLING "THE RACE CARD.""\n\nUhh yeah because the klan is still running around lynching people and blacks and minorities aer still being oppressed by the gov. Wake up in the 21st century, its over. No one is being discriminated. May be someone will make fun of you for who you are in life, but how is that severe? Happens to everyone.\n\nAnd the people using teh race card are usually white liberals who are losing the debate on illegal immigration.

No, I am not becoming racist, and I think it is important that we think clearly in times like this.\n\nFirst, your anger isn't unwarranted.  The sight of people who have not followed the laws DEMANDING gifts is infuriating.  However, you need to be able to distinguish who it is you are angry with.  It isn't people of a certain race.  People of EVERY race are on all sides of this issue.  Instead, you are angry with people who have violated laws and are now blaming YOU.  \n\nIf you fall into racism, you've let them win.  The people leading the protests are seeking to divide the country.  If they can succeed, their little protest becomes much bigger.  The protest leaders are actually a very small number, and based upon their choice of dates for protesting, I would suspect they come from a socialist background.\n\nOnce you understand all the context, it's easy to figure out who you ought to be angry with.  It has nothing to do with race.

Yes, and I don't really understand why you're defending him. When people get angry or drunk their true colors come to the surface. Him using the "n" word wasn't even the big point, it was the context in which he used it. If saying the "n" word doesn't mean you're a racist then why is the "n" word a racial slur?

I've seen whites call each other the c-word, but I don't call white people that word. That's up to them. Yep, whites reserve the right to use that word and all though by definition it cannot be used derogatorily towards a white person, I will continue NOT to use it towards white people. It's just out of respect and common decency to just let it be.\n\nI wish white people will look at the n-word in the same light as I do, because if we start nitpicking we're going to start getting into freedom of speech issues. \n\nBlacks and other subcultures of the United States (i.e., Italians, Latinos, Irish, Polish) also reserve the right to use their respective racial epithets within their respective groups. \n\nNow if everyone agrees to accept this and not use racial epithets against other groups of people we will all be able to move on with our lives peaceably.\n\nI have a sub-question and I hope you can answer it:\nWhy are whites offended by blacks using the n-word amongst themselves? \n(A) Is it a "I don't want to hear it used in public"-thing? \nOr\n(B) Is it a "I feel that if they can use it amongst each other, I should be able to use it towards them, too"-thing?\n\nIf it's B, tough noogies, no one black person in their right mind is going to co-sign that BS.\n\nGood day!

I know I see this everywhere. Blacks can make racist comments on whites and not be considered racist, but if some white kid says something to a black kid, it would be considered racist. It's horrible. I see this often on Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out.

"Konica,\nThe colours are Calling me.\nKonica,\nThe colours are calling me".....\n\nGreat advert.\n\nIt was actually a subliminal rant against racial integration, though. (Boo!)

Yes, You are racist. And who cares about the word??? If they want to use it , let them. It is derogatory for a white person to use it...And ,in my mind, It's derogatory for a black person to use it too. but, like I said...If they do...Who fucking cares? People say a lot of things I don't like...I don't lose any sleep over it.

yes it is hypocrisy. you are right.some say that we took the word from whites to take the control of our identity as black americans.i use the word.i use those other words too.this is the real killer, in private there are still white folks that call blacks, the n-word.and there are black folks that call white people, whatever it is we say in private.i think that he is lucky that the black folks in the audience did kick his azz.i'm not saying any of those words are right all i know is we have to live with people and sometimes people say the craziest things.i would not stand up in a room full of white people and say derogatory things, because i would not want the shoe to be on the other foot. and im with you his career is totally over.

THANK YOU!!!!!  I am soooooooo sick of this double standard with the black race-- if you watch the Wire, that's all they call eachother is nigger.  So WHY is it okay for them to use it to eachother but it is a major faux pas if any other race uses the word?  You dont see Jewish people calling eachother kikes, or Polish- polaks, Germans -krauts, Chinese-chinks, Puerto Ricans-spics, etc, etc.  This is a multiracial, multicultural world and if YOUR RACE ENJOYS calling eachother a nigger, and use it so proficiently, then you are opening pandoras box to allow everyone else to use it, whether it is acceptable to you or not- by the way, I dont particularly care to be called a "cracker" but at least I dont go around calling other white people this.

I think racism is classified as any derogatory remark towards a person because of skin color, nationality, or ethnic background. If you discriminate against a person because of their background or make harsh remarks regarding their ethnic background, it is racist.
