Or is this another one of those things where it's OK for black people to do something, but not whites because you were slaves? Like using the word "n.i.g.g.e.r" You can use it, but we can't right?
Dear lord, get over the black white thing. By even acknowledging race exists you promote the problem. It's like the ridiculous hate crime laws, you get more jail time for killing a black person because it was a "hate crime" Doesn't that law then give the impression black people are different to white people? And thus promotes race differences.
NOTE: I'm not a redneck, or from the south, I'm not even from America. So before you call me an ignorant southen "hick" I should let you know I'm an upper middle class Englishman.
Vorfin lol you have no idea.It is ok for black people to say the n word to each other. That is a word as...... a friend or something (im black I say it) but If a white person say's it it's ok but if they say the other "N" word it's racism. "N" is the derogatory racist, call blacks that's when it becomes a problem.
