I don't think black people should use the n word.

Actually, I don't care who uses it. I am not offended by any words. I just disagree with the whole double standard bit.

<< Absolutely not.

Black rappers refer to white people as they please most of the time, why shouldnt it apply the other way around?

Its always racism until its convenient for it not to be... :|

I dislike the concept of minoritys. Back when I hoped to get into the Naval Academy, I accuatly had a guy who went there tell me
"Too bad your not a black women. White males have the hardest time getting in"
He was a black male, too, but he was agreeing with me, and I guess he made sure he would have gotten his appointment if he was white or green, too.

Well, apparently there is a rapper called Loki who uses "awesome dude" in his music, and people dislike him for that, accusing him of "fronting like he's black."

i think the word awesome dude is detrimental to blacks as a whole. black people that use the word IMO are helping keep black people "different" if that makes any sense....sure, black culture is one thing, but calling themselves and each other awesome dude is stupid, look at the history of that word. and white people saying it usually have an identity crisis, or if they genuinely have grown up around black culture and whatnot, are doing the same thing as when black people say it.

i think it's immature and stupid. look at how the majority of black music artists act, they act like morons. they are holding themselves back IMO.

and i'm anything but racist so FLAME ON :D

I listen to alot of rap on the radio and have never heard of this. What words have you heard?
I don't have a problem with white rappers using the the N word, but they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did.
