Emily said that word with no offense meant what so ever, and I myself have said it in the past to Black friends of mine as I believe if they can say so can we. To say we cant is THE most racist comment of them all.

The answer to this is obvious. White people used the word N**** in a degrading way to describe black people as slaves. So when a White person calls a black person to this day the N word of course it is not a nice thing to do.
It's all down to the meaning behind the word.
The way Emily used the word in context WAS degrading and used as an insult. She didnt' say "hey Charley what's up my n***a" (if she was trying to be hip/cool/street) She used it at the end of a sentence which was the basis of an insult (albeit jokingly) Jokingly or not, Emily used the N word in a degrading way...
"your pushing them out YOU Ni***er"
btw... reports are coming in from lots of people saying they have been racially abused by Emily in the past. I know those skeptics will rear their ugly heads here and say "dont believe everything you read" but again, these people give their full names and full accounts of how Emily abused them and
I believe them after what I have seen of this vicious, middle-class brat.
Good ridance to her.
