Stanley Crouch's right. There are certain words that should never be used by any one in polite company. If black people can't respect their own kind by refraining from using the N-word as if it was a term of endearment, they shouldn't get offended when its said by whites. Either a profanity is ALWAYS wrong or its not a profanity at all. Something to think about here.

Biggie Smalls and Butters calling each other nigger.
Once again it's not what you say, it's how it's said. In an informative setting, it's not offensive. In a truly comedic setting, it's not offensive. However in a derogatory hatefull setting it is. Ya gotta put things in context.
