Aside from this point, as you admitted yourself, no one is that naive. The whole country knows that SOME blacks' use of the word toward one another is a strange phenomenon. Despite that some white folks still don't use it even though by all means nothing is stopping them other than that fact they they KNOW why its different when they use it.
I'm not assuming anything. But I certainly wouldn't label a person a racist if they didn't know about the negative context behind the word.

I'm sorry, but I see very VERY few blacks that don't use that word towards one another. I certainly wouldn't call it a strange phenomenon. I hear it on a daily basis....way more than often.

And I'm sorry, but I think its obvious that you know very VERY few blacks period. If you knew more, than it would be clear to you how wrong you happen to be.

Really. You must have very limited contact with a very few "blacks."

That is funny because I never say the N word and I know a lot of black people who don't use it either. I do know some who do, but the ones who don't are not few are far between.

I know very few blacks that do use the n-word and I'm black, and I'm pretty sure I know more blacks than you. My family never used it, I didn't and my child won't be raised to think it's ok to use it period.

Is "nicca" acceptable?

As for the OT, I don't find that many things offensive, but I was quite offended by the video. As some have said, it was very clear that he was pissed, and not joking at all. Even if he was joking, it was inappropiate.
