"The N Word"

[Vicswampia]

This word shows the racial divide in the USA. People say 'color does not matter' but then blacks freely use the word and are not called racist but whites using the word are called racist.

If color does not matter than we should all feel free to use the word regardless of color. The 'N' word is a good acid test of how colorblind we really are. If we react differently to a black person vs. a non-black person using the word than we are not truly colorblind or fair.

I think I pass this test because I view anybody that uses the word as unfriendly and aggressive in nature. Most gang banger wannabees (the rappers that use the 'N' word) and Confederate supporters (the whites that use the word) would fit into my profile so I think it is accurate.

Is this word so imporant to you that you can't properly express yourself without using it?

[Condunum]

Is what? Racially, he's white as milk. Culturally, though, "Slim Shady" isn't exactly a country singer.

Don't think I would call him culturally African American. To be sure there are white people who are, but Eminem stresses being white in a lot of his music.

Also, the idea of offending him is pretty ridiculous, seeing as how he raps about raping lesbians and killing children.

Is his life goal to rap about everything offensive ever?

[Malgrave]

So this is not a thread for people talking about a foreign remake of the L word? I am strangely disappointed.

What L word? Leotard?

Google it.

He has nice songs tho.

Only around a third of his songs, though. If that.

[German-Spanish Empire]

No, it's not. And as I said it only offends certain people for certain reasons. So if you were mad at someone of African descent would you use the N word against them?

Well, I have, actually. Those guys had it coming to them, though - three of them, stealing bicycles at a train station just after midnight. Trying to cut locks with a bolt cutter. So me and some others walked up to them and started talking to each other loudly - "it almost seems these [censored] are trying to steal bicycles." They ran off into the night.

I'm black you ignorant shit.

[Mushet]

Please tell me how using a racist word against someone of a race isn't racist?

It seems you're trying to justify racism.

Oh, it was racist - but it helped stop them from stealing people's bicycles, so why not?

Saying nigger didn't stop them, calling attention to what they're doing did.

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

If you have to say 'the [Insert word here] Word', then it means that it's offensive and should be avoided

[Quintium]

I'm black you ignorant shit.

Well, as for the offensive part - I rest my case.
And I'm glad you define yourself by the colour of your skin. It's a shame we are not allowed to.

It didn't. Their being aware of your presence did the trick. I seriously doubt the use of the word "niggers" made any difference.

Not anymore, really.

I think that is one of his goals, yes.

Haha. Well,me myself only hold beef toward the racist white people ohter than that have your organizations, hell we're allowed to.

That doesn't give you the right to go flaming somebody for not being able to see your skin tone through the Intarweb. Knock it off.

He also has some great songs, offensive or not.

I dislike the word but I find it unfair that non-blacks can't say (considered racist) it but some blacks (usually the more ignorant ones) glorify the word.

[Pacifornia]

Tupac said it best. "-a" is okay and "-er" is bad

I already know what the point of his music is, I don't need a lecture from one of his fanboys.
