If a white person has a problem with what people of color say to each other in our own circles, they really ought to question why they want to use a racial slur so badly in the first place.

Respectfully Sen, perhaps the problem here is that the Internet, TV, movies and music are NOT part of your "own circle" or "within their own community."
People of any color using such offensive language IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN does give SOME people the excuse that it is OK for them to use it. If the language is offensive, maybe don't put it out there so flippantly in public.
