As an African American who grow up in Alabama my problem is not that she used the word many years ago it is that she use it a few year ago when her brother was getting married. This is the statement that upset me. "Well what I would really like is a bunch of little n***ers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around,” Jackson alleges Deen told her. "Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it? But we can't do that because the media would be on me about that.I hadn't heard this one. Like I said earlier I think it just needs to be forgotten. Let sleeping dogs lie. And yes it is ingnorant to use the "n" word but why is it okay for a black to say it to someone else and not a white person. I still stand by what I already said. There is a difference between a black person and a n---er. I think that the ones who walk around with guns to kill, rob, etc and call the other blacks are the more than likely the n's. They are the the ones who are ingorant and think they don't have to do anything, that everything should be handed to them just because of their color. And just one more little tangent: These guys who walk around with their pants down on their hips showing off their underware, do they even know where that was started and what it means?
In answer to your question why it is ok for black people to say the n word and not white people . The work *bleep* have a very strong deadly history. My grandmother son was killed and body put in her yard by the KKK (year 1969). African American or Black do not say *N---er they say *N---ga * two different words. The er is racisim and the ga is you are my brother, you are one of my people. And if you are not part of urban cultre (you can be any race and be part of this). I don;t use the word.
My question is why do African American need to let sleeping dog die and other group of people who was wrong do not have to let sleeping dog die? If you forget your past you will allow it to happen to you again. I feel we should not forget but become stronger from the wrong that was done to us by our country.
