Are you kidding me?
This is exactly why you and other black guys should stop using the ****ing word. Because you give people the opportunity to say retarded **** like 'why can you say it and I not say it' etc. simrud is not being as bad about it but I have seen people bring up **** like that around me all the time. I don't understand it.
And simrud, of course its racist if someone outside the community says it. Don't act like its a big mystery to you. Its a widely accepted etiquette that as part of a ethnic or religious community, it is OK for you to mock them because you are mocking yourself. Seinfeld made plenty of Jewish jokes. I know Asians that make fun of other asians. So if a black guy uses the n-word, let him use it. Joke or not, lets just stop pushing the issue. Especially since we know it offends people.
you should be banned for it. Even jokingly. It has no place on an internet forum period.
simrud has a short fuse, we all know it. I bet he didn't mean anything personal and I bet he'll be a bit more controlled. What pisses me off is black people saying it around other races. Same with other groups mocking their own in the presence of others. It really annoys me. They totally discredit their cause by doing that. Fuck that, and now the Knicks and Giants lose on the same ****ing night. What a ****ty day.
