I thought the N word was considered bad?

oh well, pretty good movie

I doubt anyone really cares. Being black, I dont really like using the word myself and laugh at people who try to use it as an insult (which doesn't happen much at all, ESPECIALLY where I live). I watched that movie and can't remember hearing it much, but then again I was too busy being half asleep. Now, watch one episode of the Boondocks or a Dave Chappelle skit, and its gonna pour out of your speakers. I let my friends use it around me, but sometimes its funny to just act offended to see how they respond (I had one of them on the verge of a heart attack).



And please, if you're gonna get all mad that we can use the word and you can't, then I have to wonder how poor your reasoning abilities are. I'd trade the ability to use it freely for the ability to walk into my local tigerdirect and not be treated like I just missed the corner store. Yes, assholes, I know what a motherboard does (seriously).

Black people are very niggardly about who can say the N-word.

Sumguy I am sorry you get treated as such. Perhaps it is the common use by your brethren of ignorant terms like the one being discussed that perpetuates that prejudiced idea.
