No, are YOU serious?!
Quote From: cornell74you missed the point or were you not wanting to catch it? every name calling is uncalled for being black doesn't make it worse. are YOU serious? The topic of the discussion is not if its OK to call a black the n word the discussion is why blacks can use it but whites cant. no one is saying its OK to call a black the n word. That person said:
" An African American child calling a white overweight child fat is as hurtful to the white child as the "N" word to the African American. I doubt if any uproar would be made about the child being called fat."
That was just an irrelevant metaphor to use. Come on! Really? I believe EVERY race comes in skinny, medium, and fat. No, no uproar would be made if a black person calls a white person "fat"!! Not as far as using a racial slur. Are you kidding me??? Forget about the "N" word debate for a minute. Just because a black kid is referring to a white kid as "fat" doesn't mean its toward him as his race, but due to his weight. That black kid could be calling EVERYONE fat. Use a better analogy to get your point across. That just makes no logical sense. I understand what they meant, but I too, thought that that was a stupid comment.
I am against that word as well, but I can come up with a better argument than that.
