I'm never surprised when a white person is revealed to be racist, I'm only surprised when they are proven not to be a racist!

XACTLY, I WAS NOT SUPRISED EITHER.

really?
so what does that make all the black people who use the "N" word?

I wonder what she thinks Nicole Richie is? LOL!

And James...I don't like the word PERIOD, don't care who uses it.

exactly, and you know what? i don't even pay attention to stuff like this, because it no longer puts me out of place. i know who i am, so Paris callin some dude the "n" word will only make me shake my head and be amused at the ignorance she portrays. Besides, who takes her seriously?

I wanna hear what Nicole Richie has to say about this, if she'll say anything at all. They've been friends for a while. I wonder if she'll overlook it. It may not mean anything to her.

Nicole is too busy trying to be white herself, so I doubt she'd be upset. I'm sure her reaction would be like Tiger Woods...I'm only 5.3% black, so it doesn't concern me!

how can this be an issue?
black people use the world all day long, every day.

the hip hoppers have made it a point of pride to bring this world into common usage.
how can you say anything when a white person uses the same word that black people use?

actually, if you were to make some fragrant tea and sip it and then meditate and clear your mind of all negative energy, you would realize that i am always right. :grin:

Please I'm surprized it didn't come out sooner that she called someone the "N" word. Why should we care? As far as African Americans are concerned Paris Hilton could win the Ms. Irrevelant pagent hands down. I know no African Americans that care about her exploits or even find her attractive for that matter. When tv shows featuring her or Jessica Simpson come on those shows are called s.n.i.f.b.a.'s (shows not intended for black audiences). Why do we give this cave woman our power. Pay no attention to these ridiculous distractions. Honestly do we even care about what she said? Her calling two brothers the "N" word probably affects the lives of .05% of African Americans in the U.S. Come on. Next.

i agree rf, its not about caring about that chic cuz i could care less, i just posted this one day after hearing it on the radio was justtrying to c if any one else heard it. im not suprised at all ,
the topic has sord of sitched from that to aa's using the word, which in my eyes is not a big issue either.

i deleted the original message this is a non issue

i was sitting on my stool in the back of da club tonight when a brother i know came buy and reported with a grin that the white girl he was talking to at the bar had told him that he was a good looking ******.

i patted him on the back and told him he might get lucky.

Well then why did you pat him on the back (a sign of encouragement?) and tell him that he could get "lucky" with a woman who had just insulted the race?! I would have thought that you--of all people--would have been flipping out once your friend told you what that woman said.

he is not too bright and i didn't care.
black people "insult the race" every day on BET and on the street.
i said "if you want her go for it" and went back to my beer.
she was in a mostly black bar and he was happy to get next to something white.
who am i to stand in the way of love?

True...True.....True.....

Black kids, rappers, and adults use the N word all the time like its cool or hip so why was it a issue?

This is absolutely true brother James! It is also ironic that a "brother" would be in a mostly black bar, yet looking at white women. This is like people who attend historically black colleges, and end up with the only white person on campus. I know their parents are like WTF??

So, Paris Hilton's racist? Who cares about that partygirl? She wouldn't say it to dudes face. I mean having a white person calling you the N word is like someone calling yo moms yo dads nickname for her. IT JUST AIN"T RIGHT. Then she goes and hangs out wit 50 Cent on Spring Break. With her crooked nose. Looks like her dad and a crow got freaky!

When I hear this word it makes the ancestors blood that flood threw my veins boil and you better be in for a battle no doubt. :bam: :hulk:

I hope you don't use it then..because if you do..then you shouldn't get mad when white folks use it either..and don't use that "it's a difference" line.

I find that the "N" word as well as curse words in general show a lack of education. Their are much better terms that I can think of to use to describe how I feel or dont feel about something, someone or a particular situation.

We need to remove the chains from our brains we are nation builders Kings and Queens and we should act as such at all times. I demand that excellence from you and you should demand that same from me. Can I get an Amen?

Why do you guys think white folks love Chris Rock?

{sigh}. I wish you hadn't deleted it. White people using the n-word, particularly those who are in the spotlight like that is never a non-issue.

Yes, blacks should try to establish as much independence as possible from white culture, but when they do racist things like that it needs to be confronted.

I hope you don't use it then..because if you do..then you shouldn't get mad when white folks use it either..and don't use that "it's a difference" line.

But there is a difference. Blacks use it as a form of jest where whites use it as a cruel racial slur/insult. Granted, if I had my way I'd like to see that word abolished completely from both black and white diction, but I do understand why some blacks have a double-standard when it comes to who can and can't use that term.

No there is not a difference at all..its a racial term no matter who says it. The white man wants to make it seem like their is a difference..ni**a and ni**er are the same..just like writin' and writing , eatin' and eating..i mean come on get real..as long as whoever says it says it..whites are going to think its okay..thats why a case out here was thrown out..when a black guy got called the "n" word by white people...they're thinking hey if you call each other that then why should it bother you when we call you an N...come on open your eyes

I agree sister Nisa, for me there is no difference! I rarely say the N-word, when I have....I used it to insult someone. That word is an insult, it should have never been conceived as a term of indearment. The same people who are trying to tell us this are the very ones that have their pants hanging off ther @sses, think going to jail is a rite of Manhood, think having 5 babby mommas is cute, and wouldn't have a decent job if their life was on the line. We have to be careful about the values, attitudes, and behaviors we endorse!

Peace,

For those who defend the use of the "N" word, try going to the deep South and justifying it to an elder in their 70's and 80's.

We slap the face of our ancestors when we use this term. The European has created this term to damage the charater and self-esteem of our great grand-parents and now we use it as a term of indearment. That shows how backwards we can be.

As for Paris Hilton, I really can't complain about her because if we have never adopted this term, then I bet she wouldn't have used it. There is no correct way to defend this word, it is wrong, period.

This is one of the problems with our Community, we are thinking of ourselves as "N!ggas" instead of Brothers and Sisters.

I agree the word is ignorant whether used by blacks or whites and should be abolished from all vocabularly. But, let's not pretend that maintstream white culture isn't aware of the difference blacks have placed upon the word. They are, which is why most educated ones won't use it in the presence of blacks (though they might use it in private around their white friends). It's also why when it is used by a non-black person, such as Hilton, it causes a media uproar. Even Hilton herself knew not to use the word around the two black mean she was insulting -- she did it AFTER they left. If whites are so innocent and using it simply because blacks are using it, then there would be no use in hiding. Let's not forget blacks didn't create the term... whites did, and its use was intended to demean their humanity both back then and now.

The only non-blacks that I can see thinking using the word is okay based on the reasoning that blacks use it are those that use it in the exact manner as the ghetto folks that use it... a term of jest. This goes in particular for those who think they are inundated with black culture because they like hip-hop. Paris Hilton, did NOT use the term that way... she didn't say, "What's up, my *****," (which is the use I'm referring to)... she had called the two black men "Dumb *******," behind their backs.

Let's not forget blacks didn't create the term... whites did, and its use was intended to demean their humanity both back then and now.

Exactly, so why the hell do "we" use it? Even if the average Brother or Sister in the hood uses it as a term of indearment, it's still humiliating.

Now as for Paris. I'm not excusing her in anyway but I won't make an up roar about it because regardless if we use it in a different way, it still makes us look foolish as a people. Now when a European uses it with a racist connotation behind it, we want to start a riot. They most definitely have no right to use the "N" word but we don't either.

I could see if we never adopted the term, then I would understand your argument but I can't take us seriously in this case because if we as a people were serious, the "N" word wouldn't be in the African's vocabulary.

really?
so what does that make all the black people who use the "N" word?


I personally dont use the word but at best when place people do it they are reclaiming it and stealing from it the power that it once held--that is ideally- but now I hear young kids using it and I feel that it just reveals ignorance.

No, I'm not surprised Paris Hilton is racist. But-then again-I honestly dont care about what goes in or comes out of her mouth :)

Can any American white person honestly say they haven't used the n-word? I would think not. Why would any of us be so surprised. I know this is old, but it was said that Eminem use to call his black girlfriend an n-word female dog(the nasty term). We need to stop the use of n-word definitely around white people and that's for real.

Deepvoice i agree , we need to stop the use of it point blank
but we have accept it and speak it so freely now til it's like
part of our culture or something ....i'm not surprised at all..
