...n-word like black people do? In lieu of Dr. Laura Schlessinger's little n-word issue on her show yesterday, in which she claimed that it should be okay for her to use the term since so many black comics and rappers do then proceeded to say the word nine times on air, I must ask: Why do so many people use this argument as if it is a valid one? It is a very simple concept- people who are close to each other because they share or have shared the same situations in life, use deprecation as a term of endearment. Marines in forward areas call each other jarheads. Police officers call each other pigs. If someone outside their brotherhoods called them those names, there would be a problem. If my good friend walks in that I haven't seen in awhile I might say, Well, look at this mother fu@ker. or something like that. If a stranger walked up to you on the street and called you a mother fu@ker, you'd probably take offense to that. Is it really that hard to understand why a black person takes offense to someone outside his race calling him a n-word?
