When Whites use it, it is different. We may not like facing that, but it is.

I disagree, respectfully. Next time you have the opportunity, listen to Holder's people use the word. Or, listen to some (c)rap lyrics. But, even if whites use it differently, so what? Is it ugly? Sure. But we either have freedom of speech or we don't. It's like the hags on the view making jokes about a woman who cuts off her husband's penis. The audience laughs with them and they keep on talking. Then, imagine a show all about men's issues (and yes, that would take a LOT of imagination because it will never happen) joking about a man cutting off his wife's clitoris. Think the audience would laugh? See the double standard? It's bull crap and I'm tired of it.

exactly, in most AD;s the white guy is the dopey idiot but change it to a woman or a black guy and its not so funny then remember cops the program who came under attack because they showed too many blacks being arrested and doing drugs.?

I;m sick of the double standard

There are serious double-standards out there. I agree with that. The ones you mentioned are ones that I agree on, stridently.

We have a group of people who were wronged. The continuation of the blame game is getting beyond old if you catch my drift, but I’m not going to be a party to using a word that would dredge up old insults.

I don’t disagree with things you said in your post. When people like Holder us the word, I just shake my head. And they’re the go to people for Blacks? Sad.
