I dont feel that the word should be banned. Im white but I have quite a few friends that are black. We all joke around and Im always saying that they my N***as and vice versa. They call me a crackerjack or their white-n*gga. Its all just friendly words.

Friggin Jesse Jackson!! He ____es me off sometimes!! I don't think it should be banned. I have NO problem with it unless it ends in ER. I'm not okay with Eminem saying it on that note. To get rid of it in rap musik?? That's some crap. Jesse Jackson, go do something worth people's while.

There are two points I'd like to make about this:

1. Neither Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton have any business calling themselves "Reverend". That title should be reserved for men who devote their lives to preaching and teaching the word of God. Those two have only shown an interest in political gain through social and racial division.

2. They plan to start with hip-hop?!?! Good luck!!!

the n word is bleeped out on rated versions of tracks.

i agree that it's all about context... it's part of hip hop and i don't see anything wrong with it if it's in a track in a non racial way. i have an asian friend that doesn't even listen to hip hop and not even in the urban culture that uses it at times when talking with his friends and i always give him a dirty look for it.

i laughed when i heard about taking it away from hip-hop.

so far, one person has agreed to not use the N word while they rap and that is Daz. the guy from DPG

they can all get their points across w/o using that word.. but it's a choice they have to make on their own, it's stupid to try to impose your belief on others.

I personally do not use the word and I don't like to hear it used. But for some reason, when a black person uses it in a "good natured" way while talking to another black person, I don't have a problem with it. I guess because it's obviously not meant in an offensive way in that context. Does that make any sense?
