Double standards involving the N word?
Is it okay for black people to say the N word? Is it okay for someone that's not black to say the N word?
A white guy said the N word at my work. A black woman reported it, which got him fired. This guy often used racial slurs, and perhaps some people could take offense to it. But if you met him you could clearly see he's not prejudice to other races, at least no more than everyone else. Now I hear the same black woman saying the N word.
The fact that she made this guy lose his job for saying the N word makes me feel pretty upset. But the fact that she thinks it's okay for her to say it is very very frustrating.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
