The N word is used in the black community most and in my opinion if it were not used as frequently anywhere (along with not calling their women b#tches) would be a good thing.
Trying to make things hate speech is a bit much.

This is a classic conundrum: If you say lets ban the N word, you give rise the banning free speech. Whats next; they might ban a word like Marlboro. If you stand for free speech ; you will be branded a racist.

The good rev is quite niggardly with his time when it comes to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. That IS generally a major role of reverends, right, or did I miss something?

I restrict myself from using that word. If blacks don't respect themselves enough to stop referring to themselves as that word,shame on them.

the use of the "n-word" by americans of caucasion persuasion is already quite niggardly. only the ignorant rant and rave considering the propensity to sounding as if it has any connectivity to the obsurdity of its perpetuity to enhance relations to the relitivity of the races in the excommunity.

for us crackers to use the n word
I dare you to use it in downtown Detroit in the middle of a group of Brothers.... I'd like to see that....

That's true every time he opens his mouth. A command of the English language he has not.

I did a whole lot of growing up in downtown Detroit. I once had a hooker pull a gun on me at the corner of Cass and Bagley (nice part of town)--she and I got to talking (once she tucked said gun back into her waistband) and it turned out she was actually quite friendly. Not that kind of friendly. I'm a girl. The thing is, I bet I could have dropped the N word any number of times, once Miss H and I got over our awkward greeting and got into real conversation. I bet she wouldn't have noticed at all. Would I drop the word on a bunch of strangers? No. It's not a word I use, period. I wager, however, that I would be equally jeopardized using the word surrounded by a gaggle of uberlibs as I would be in the middle of a group of brothers.

And you'd have to deal with a can of whup a$$ if you used it around me, too. It's not a word anyone should use, for any reason, anywhere.
To: brwnsuga
So on your profile page, when you list "free speech" as a turn on, you mean that in some kind of Orwellian manner, right?
Like I said, I don't use the word. I just don't. I never use any of the words, other than scientific, which refer to female genitalia, either...but not because you or anyone else tells me not to.

Did I understand that Jackson suggested that no one purchase the final season DVD set of the Seinfeld show? How does that help rectify the situation?

Thank goodness your Mama taught you something right. Gotta go, Big Brother is watching.
To: grellis
...checked out your profile, cute kids....
To: governsleastgovernsbest
I know I am giving this thread a new start, but the "rev" Je$$e made me do this.
Would Jackson's n-word ban begin where the word is most frequently in use - the black community itself?
BO HOO To the "rev".
