It's not, it's a way of life people!  Stop watching and believing everything that MTV says and get an imagination.\nThe same thing is open for anti-racist skinheads.  why do people claim  this title yet don't know the meaning and morals behind it?

MTV and the likes, don't create the fashions or style the just exploit them.  Punk is a style and we have to deal with it just as much as we have to deal with the overly conservative.  Learn tolerance.

It's pretentious, I agree. But they do have a point. The idea of a white history month, use of the N word by white people, WET...all would probably be met with a lot of opposition and decried as racist. And there are probably quite a few places where a white person would be severely harmed or killed for using the N word. Granting special privileges to any given group is counterprodutive, in terms of equality. Not that I have anything against black history month or BET.

i love your idea. i rather laugh out loud. seriously Amazing Racist Show. ahhahaha\n\nit's not illegal to be racist unless you show it and insult someone in person. so yes, if there is such tv show, it's illegal.

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.

It doesn't. But with some people, this is how they were raised to believe that one color is better than the other. Having not known any better, they go through life thinking like this. It has nothing to do with morals or behaviors. Many parents not all mind you, but some will teach their kids that skin color defines superiority over another person when that is clearly not the case. And these kids are hearing this at a young age then they grow into teenagers and eventually adults only to have kind of their own and instill the same twisted beliefs. In my opinion, it starts at home. Individuals who think they are better than others because of their color are misguided and misinformed of what is going on around them. A world full of people of ALL RACES and CREEDS and to look past color. The phrase never judge a book by it's cover fits well within this topic.

These are stereotypes.  The saying asks us not to believe them.\n\nSeems simple enough to me!

Okay...who said it was acceptable?  Who made the decision that ANY promotion of racism (by any group of people against any other) was right, or even something that needs support?\n\nBoth those slogans suggest racism and violence.  They both stink of lies and deceit along with the useless bloodshed that occured under both slogans.\n\nThey are both equally worthless.

Do you know what? I was just sat outside in the gorgeous sun shine thinking to myself.... I wonder why there are so many ignorant people who could still think inside their own tiny little mind that is it OK and even right, to think that another person could be worthless or somehow lower than themselves just because of the colour of their skin? It is absolutely crazy and so I have the same question as yourself..... why are these small-minded bigots allowed to post these offensive questions? They should in my opinion be banned from the site for life (or until the realise what an utter fool they are! However unlikely this outcome may be!!).\n\nTo all those who say - Oh it's all a matter of free speech - well yes you're right to a certain extent, it's just that I would rather be able to answer a question that's worth asking in the first place!

that is so true!!! i hate it.What are we suppose to say? even if you say dark skin or something close the say its racist.I agree with yew!
633132
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.

Buckle up, here comes the rant-\n\n"Hollywood culture" is proof that the rich and famous are completely out of touch with reality/normalcy. The sort of money they spend on inconsequential things (bling-blinged cell phones and Louis Vuitton doggy accessories), the crazy things that they name their kids (Apple? Suri? Banjo?!?), their idea of normal family life (nanny raises children), etcetera.\n\nThe most disturbing thing about it all, though, is that mainstream America have begun to try to hold themselves up to this bizarre, shallow standard. Why else would 16-year-olds be getting boob jobs? \n\nNo wonder the world regards Americans with such contempt. Eek. Too depressing.

Well, I guess its goes back to the American dream and the philosophy that everyone likes to watch someone else be happy. I mean, why do we watch t.v. if they basically have the same storyline? It is just what we have been used to,; it's part of our heritage. It goes back to history, where in almost every war Americans come out successful and with a better way of life. Another thing is the opposite ending. What if our lives ended with a virus killing us all or world domination by a single person? We tend to become ignorant of that stuff because we just try to live out our lives in a way of being stress free. Or at least I do. This is the American teen that is addressing your question. Just ignore this if anyone has a different opinion about Americans life than me.... I'm not that cultured.. although I'm working on it. Hope this helped!!!

it is rude to label anything in a derogatory manner.  I am gay, and i do occasionally say it when something is just over the top "gay"... and I especially use it when I see my straight friends (who have made fun of me in the past) do something effiminate.  However that still doesn't make it right.  I can't even discuss here the things that could be labeled in politically offensive manners, but think about religious affiliations and race issues....

I agree.  I don't like to use the term because I believe that it is incorrect.  It is also promoting segregation and misunderstanding.  When people choose to separate themselves by racial titles they are saying that they are unwilling to be a part of this culture.  This breeds contempt amongst other groups who feel that they are being pushed aside or belittled because they don't have a special title for themselves too.  \n\nI find it amusing that some black people are offended for being called black but then the next words out of their mouths are about white people.  If I'm white you're black.  I really don't see what's wrong with that.\n\nAlso, almost no one in this country is all of any ethnicity.  I don't want to be called French-Canadian-Belgian-Spanish-Lebanese American.  What a freakin' mouthful!  Blacks are no different.  If you go back into your geneaology you will find many different groups represented in there.  Why would you choose to leave those out?  They are as much a part of you as any other group.

I think you are a paranoid and racist dweeb. If you cannot understand the language, then do not assume. Also, do not assume legal status by the language spoken. There are too many examples out there that prove YOU wrong for saying that. Get over your stuck up self.

i agree with you. i agree that sometimes rap is a little vulgar, but most of the time they are talking about their lives so i don't see anything wrong with it.  now i wouldn't let my child listen to some of that mess, but i still think they have a right to speak about what goes on or has gone on in their lives. people just don't really listen to what they are saying. they hear a few words and automatically judge it.

Take it from a "black girl who grew up suburban," that it goes both ways.  I was always teased by black kids for 'acting white'.  There is no real way to answer this question, other than, be who you are.  Not how the media says you should be because the white-owned media has only taken the most marketable aspects of black culture in its eyes and put it up for sale.  As long as you're not experiencing "buyer's remorse," you go, boy...
