it is acceptable for black people to say 'nigger' if they want to, because it only insults themselves. if someone called me 'honky' or 'cracker' i would be insulted, but it's ok for me to say it about myself. the problem is when you insult other people -this is unacceptable by either race. you'll notice that insults against white people are also censored on tv, radio etc., so it's perfectly fair. you just want any excuse to hate black people, so don't blame it on 'the system' or whatever.

[Hypocrisies]

Actually, any belittlement of the white race is acceptable in just about every goddamn country. Referring to blacks as african americans and whites as whites, showing TV shows of how blacks say nigga but as soon as a white person says it shit hits the fan. Zephaniah is in no way shape or form a nigger, but because so many of his race are niggers he's, sadly, labeled as one.

[squigglesy]

piss off both of you, neither of those racist terms are acceptable in any circumstances, and i'm sure zephaniah would agree.

[Hypocrisies]

What? You are a racist, and as a racist I will call you a nigger because of your ignorance.

It's all about the Muslims.
