Then you, as a black person, should be telling that to the black people who DO use it toward other blacks AND to the media who think it is just fine, and we should all just understand and accept that, and who also think it's fine and totally PC to disparage white people about their race.
Frankly, I'm fed up with the double standard and being told that, because I'm white, I'm responsible for and should make amends (meaning pay money) for every wrong that's ever been committed against anybody, anytime, and anywhere.

The way I read this, you think a black person is somehow responsible for the thoughts and actions of other blacks? I don't understand that. Most blacks do not use the n* word, or disparage white people. Similarly, most whites do not use the n* word, or disparage black people. There are a few of each race that are blatently racist. Michael Richards is obviously one of them. His tirade was not an attempt at humor, or the use of a racial slur for shock value. It was an hate-filled, racial tirade spoken in anger, and directed at 2 black men. There is nothing that any black man has done, no matter how horrible, that excuses Richard's behavior. He should be held accountable.
