Especially when the media is fickle and changes its mind according to whim or fashion.

If we just follow the herd every time without question then we are giving our personal power away, carte blanche, which is a dangerous place to be. These debates are not just healthy - they are essential to our freedom.

Offence is not in the words alone - it is in the intention behind them. I'd rather have someone call me a 'negro' in jest, than have someone call me an 'disgusting pig' and mean it.

But in the BB house for example, you cannot say 'negro' in jest but you can scream 'disgusting pig' in someone's face and mean it. That, to me, is all wrong.

Too often we are getting caught up on the words and totally missing the intention behind them: which is where the real deal is.

I'm getting tired bro so i'm hitting the hay. Been good talking to you. Peace out.

I'm all FOR not bowing down to media pressure but I know when to draw the line.

The media did not change the way we perceive that word. Society did. Over the course of a VERY long time. And for me? So be it. I can understand when I think about everything why some people can find the use of it in this day and age to be offensive, I can totally understand. It really is no big deal.

The fact is that word is now deemed unacceptable. If it was still acceptable it would still be a term used on the U.S census or we would hear it used commonly, we don't hear it used commonly and you and I know the reason why.


That word is unlike any other so when you say you can compare Caucasian to Negro you really cannot.. The words have totally EVOLVED in different ways.

One man may create a simple alphabetic word composed of simple letters in a dictionary one day but on another day THAT WORD may hold a totally different meaning due to a plethora of factors. Life EXPERIENCES and ACTIONS bear more weight and meaning than any alphabetic or spoken word could ever have and THAT can change many things in life and rightly so.

I only jumped when I saw the way Ken used it first time.. It was downright rude and just uncalled for. He also used "Pickaninny" which both caused offence to Alexander, he took offence quite clearly.

Noone uses that word anymore. Noone. Because people find it offensive. It is not the media who find it offensive. Black people do and if they do so what? There is a lot of history there so let's leave it to people like Obama and Alexander who have way more experience than us to decide if it is acceptable or not.

Been cool talking to you to bro PEACE.
