Quote From: ohinesIt seems to me that there is reverse racism going on. Blacks can use N***** in their songs and raps but Whites aren't supposed to say it. Where's the logic in that? If they can use it about themselves then they shouldn't get all in our faces when we or anyone else uses it too.
Besides....aren't there more important things to work on in this world of ours besides the use of a word?
Yes, I agree that there are more important things to talk about. But, in response to your comment about Blacks using the word n***** in their songs. That's a generalization. They are not our songs as you say. They are the songs of ignorant, selfish individuals, who exploit their own people. Besides, why don't you pose that question to the record company owners, many of whom are white. I often wonder if these same rappers wanted to use other degrading racists slurs, such as those directed towards whites or other non-blacks, would they permit it? I doubt it. And yes, Def jam may be owned by Russel Simmons, but as aforementioned some blacks will exploit there own mother to make a living. Lastly, although Blacks can be prejudice, as long as the current non-black power structure controls the wealth, means of production, and political system in this country, We can never be racist. To be racist is to have the ability to impose
your standards of beauty, religious beliefs, economic policies,political ideology, etc, upon another group.
