Well ive been listening to some rap music lately because I found out about Flobots and I decided to give rap a try...and i noticed it says the "n word" a lot but black people dont even mind it.

So today at school I see some black kids and was like "sup my nigs you check out that hot new Lil Wayne cd?" and they got extremely mad and punched me in the face...I wasnt gonna just stand there and let that happen so i fought back (there was way too many of them so i got hurt pretty badly). Me and some black kid got taken down to the office and were both given suspensions tomorrow. But because they said I started it with "racial slurs" i ended up getting in extreme trouble and now they dont know if theyll let me walk at graduation tomorrow.

This is such bull****...I didnt know that only black people were allowed to call each other n words without getting smashed on....now I might not even be able to attent my own damn graduation

Basically, here's the idea: Black people are free to insult their ancestors if they want to (some of them do it all the time). White people are not allowed. Personally, I don't think anyone should be allowed to spew these racist phrases, even black people. But that's the way it goes.

Seems like a pretty foolish thing to have done. You must have known that it may have caused some problems , if not then now you know.

That was just plain stupid. It seem it's an unwritten rule that only black people can call each other the n word. I myself could not give, whenever use it, it's meant for insulting...And i use it allot.

In Mexico we call them "negros" not to mean it as a racial slur but is the translation of black.

WHen I go to the US, I got in trouble for that :(

Let me get this straight. You were about to graduate tomorrow (from high school I presume) and you didn't even know how offensive that word was? Never mind that you, only after hearing it on a few songs, thought it was cool to go about using it? If you're not sure of it's meaning, why bother even using it?

Hey...You stole my bike. *Shakes fist*:evil:

On topic. I don't believe this. You have to be really ignorant not to know that is offensive. But if it is true, I laugh at your ignorance. :lol:

I feel like I'm being racist when I say black anyway. Racism is a complete joke and I can't take it seriously anymore; no one should.

IMO, the n word shouldnt be said by any race. One because its just a stupid word that causes so much drama. Secondly, the way i see it if black people can say it, then everyone should be able to say it that kind of contradicts what I just said about no one being allowed to say it, but if you think about it if white, asian, hispanic people say it it means the exact same thing as if black people say it. Look the word up in the dictionary, theres no 2 terms for it. Black people only get mad because of what slaves went through, but you didnt see slaves going around calling each other the n word now did you? Personally, i honestly dont care if people say it as long as they dont call me one.

Yeah.... I don't believe you. There's no way a graduating high school student in this country would not know that that word is a racial slur. Even if your story were true, this is not the place to post it.
