If white people saying the n-word in this circumstance is offending black people, then maybe black people should stop including that word in their songs.

Fuxxake.

Boru

Precisely.

Took more than ten non-related responses before someone on another forum came to the same logical conclusion.

Thank you, Min.




This video pretty much sums it up.

"Not really".

But again, based on the OP I think the point of the script was missed.

Cris is saying what I am, you have to know your audience, especially with that word. What I got out of the OP's  description of the scene wasn't Chris's version, but the white character not knowing his audience.

We(meaning me being white) really cant use it whenever or wherever. Nor should we as white people. 

It still amounts to "not really" as Chris said.

And if you make an argument like in the OP, you may not be a bigot, sure, but it is still missing the point to me which can lead blacks to accuse you of racism.

I'd take Chris's advice and get to know people as individuals and not use the ("if they(blacks) do it, why can't I?)

It still is a word with a very long history that started in a very oppressive age. And that is why it is really important to know your audience as a white person.

Like Chris said, "Not really."
