And I don't use "them". I say "person" because that's what they are, regardless of color of skin.

I wish it was still the same today. Well, let me rephrase that. I wish it was the same today with everyone. I don't really watch the show "Boondocks," but one episode I remember and took to hear was when Martin Luther King Jr came back - he had been frozen or something. And after seeing how the culture was today, with how "they" treated each other in words and in society (excluding the "whites", as per the show), he was furious. He reprised his "I Have A Dream" speech (after seeing how his original dream was carried out): This being said, I'm NOT stereotyping, pointing fingers, etc. I just see this as a culture (particularly in the United States as a whole)... /end disclaimer.

I do not cherish using the N-word because of the history of the word. I’m proud of my ancestors for overcoming discrimination and slavery that I would never use that word to describe my people. Some blacks use the word to strip the power from the word by using it as a term of endearment among members of their group. Black people will decide among themselves on how we choose to deal with that word. Hip-hop music started as telling stories about street life. This type of music eventually became mainstream music, and now some people think it is socially OK to use the word around black people. I refuse to censor people for using the N-word, but if anyone chooses to use this word might face negative consequences like Paula Deen. Not all blacks listen to hip-hop music. Hip-hop music is largely supported by whites. | |

| Well I don't like it used by anyone. And I don't like being called "cracker", having Hispanics called "beaners or spics or wetbacks" having Asian people called "gooks or slant eyes", having people from India referred to as "towel heads" or any other derogatory term people come up with. It's ridiculous the things I hear. They are PEOPLE. That's all. And they all have feelings. (My children are Hispanic and people are just rude with their comments about my choice to marry a Hispanic man)

| I had never even heard the term "cracker" as a racial slur before last week!

| haha. From what I've heard, Chris Rock is pretty hard to take so I'll just steer clear and stay happily out of touch.

| I think this whole thing is ridiculous. People are treating her like she killed someone. Geez-o we have way more serious issues in this world than what someone says..
