Sick of Double Standard

[winningstreak]

Just flipping through the TV channels and I hear the women talking about Jesse Jackson's comments and the conversation moves to the use of the word ******. A black woman on the show(not Whoppi) says she has the right to say ****** and whites do not. I tend to think the word should not be used by anyone and if blacks do not want it used they should not use it either.

It just pissed me off that the woman said she could use it but she didn't want to hear it out of a white persons mouth. So stupid, I guess the word isn't really that offensive to her.

life is full of double standards, race is just 1 area. its your country. what use do you get calling someone a ****** anyways. do you feel entitled to do so? what use do you get out of it.

Don Imus said it right the first time to Sharpton on live TV... I can't use it neither can you!

I think white people can use the word only if they are willing to say it to this mans face...

When Shaq caught all that trouble for using the "N" word in that rap thing he did, one of the black ladies at work said "he said it to a black man, what's the big deal?"
