Welllll, I don't like it when blacks use the N word...but, we can't compare our use of the N word with that of non-blacks. It's a completely different word and meaning...it doesn't make it right...but, we would be lying if we compared the two usages.
I don't think the issue is whether or not Jennifer is black--she's ethnic when she feels like it, just like Mariah---I think the issue is that whites and "others" will hear her use the word...and since THEY don't see her as black...they will feel it is okay for them to use the word.
I don't think it has much to do with her being comfortable with the black culture (b/c the N word isn't necessarily part of our culture), but similarly, Eminem feels quite comfortable with our culture (maybe too comfortable) and he states that he would use any word EXCEPT for N word (out of respect for the people who's music he is copying).
