What's up with the N word? Keep it out of the Podium please.

It really bothers me when black people or for that matter anyone uses the N word.

I was walking into Wal-Mart today, when I passed a group of five young black kids. All I heard was N this and you F-ing N. More then once in the short time it took me to get out of ear shot of them.

My question is if it is an offensive word for a white person to say it, what makes it less offensive for a black person to use it?

If I would have been walking past them with some of my white friends and called one of them a N In front of them, I would more then likely would have had to defend myself.

I don't care if I get called a cracker. I don't understand How a word that can draw blood if said by the wrong person, can be part of the offended persons everyday vocabulary. Dontknow

The difference is that 'cracker' is still accepted.

Case in point, cracker is not censored here, censored is.
