This is getting real stupid. So what she said n*****, how many black people says that? So what now only black people can say that word? You can say it without being racists, black ppl say it all the time and not get offended.
Another thing, ppl on facebook posted a link, blacklegalproblems, or something like that. How wrong would it be if white people had an all white college, or started whitelegalproblems.com or have some white guy (jesse jackson equivalent) get all politically correct for when black people (or any other race) says "white" instead of "european american". This shite is just getting stupid. If you dont want people to say ****, then quit fricking saying it yourself.

I'm the first to say no one should use the n-word, whether black, white or in any song. There's been many "leaders" who have come out and voiced their disdain for the use of the word and protested against various record labels, although efforts have been futile so far. It's just become so deeply ingrained into popular culture that it will be very difficult to get rid of completely. Personally, I despise most elements of hip hop culture and hope there is a major shift in the mentality soon.
There's no such thing as black only colleges. There ARE HBCUs, which were created out of necessity since Universities such as ours were resistant to integration well into the 1960s, but it's not like white people or any other racial group aren't allowed to attend. A couple years back there was a white valedictorian of Morehouse, and white students can even apply for minority status at these Universities, though I'm not too well versed on specific benefits one would gain. There's plenty faculty of white and other racial backgrounds at these institutions. Has the label of HBCU outlived its mantra and usefulness? Possibly, but it's not as if they're exclusive.
I have no idea what "blacklegalproblems" is, but it sounds like some stupid Facebook group or Twitter page.
Anyway as another posted stated, I grew up in a household where I was not allowed to use the n word or any other variation of the word. In addition, I was lectured in the same manner to never say any slurs period. The majority of my friends and friends of my family have been white and traditionally southern in culture. Often times, they'd refer to themselves as rednecks, and each time my father or mother would ask them to please not use that word, and they would oblige.
I'm definitely not perfect. Oddly enough, the only times I've ever thought any racial slur has been the n word with the er about my own racial group. I can't say I've ever vocalized or written any disparaging remarks about someone based on their race, religion or country of origin though.
