Bruthahs use the Niggah word just to piss white people off.......
Knowing if whitey uses it his career is all but over.......
And If whitey uses it in front of em,whitey will be beat to pulp within inches of his life........
This is the only power the black man has over whitey.......
Let him rein in glory over those who are stupid enough to use the "unlawful" language known as Niggah in public.......

It's the hard "ER" (racist) versus the soft "UH" (homies). Plus, the context is different. Either you're being a troll or you're completely uncivilized.

Im disgusted that Riley Cooper has to say that he's disgusted at himself for saying what he did. WTF? Meanwhile, Marcus Vick is offering $1000 reward for physical harm to Cooper in practice. What a JOKE.

He's an idiot for saying that. Got too drunk, didn't notice there was a camera in his face and tried to be hard. He's won himself a LOT of fights.
But the reaction is unbelievable. You got black people acting as if it's the first time it's been said at a country concert. And you got white people disowning Cooper as if they don't it say it weekly.
Racism exists. Get over it. Every time someone slightly famous gets caught saying shit we say all the time, this country comes to a fukkin halt.

Well I guess everyone is a racist! lol but seriously all humans profile other humans so the label of "racist" is just silly...calling someone a racist is like calling them human, of course there are degrees and people make incorrect assumptions, but they didn't just think of this stuff out of nowhere...I say we all embrace racism, it might actually make the world a better place. Ill start...Asians in general are not that great of drivers, but they are good at meditation and math....see that wasn't so hard...lets hear some others, they dont have to be negative either...What are some other stereotypes? Some are funny, lets embrace the oddities of our cultures!

What about the white people that come out and write a dissertation every time this issue comes up talking about how the Paula Deens, Michael Richards, Don Imus and Riley Coopers deserve to be fired, ridiculed and put on Death Row. "There is a huge difference between "a" and "er". I studied this for 4 years in my sociology classes..."
I think these white people think they look cool and are gaining street cred among black people. Most black people think you look like educated fools.

You know you don't actually make a point in this post? You just ask about those kinds of people and then tell us what you think of them but don't explain why. Well done.
God bless.

There is a difference.
For instance, Asians say Pirrow, every else says Pillow. Culture differences.
A crisp "er" just isn't used in african-american cultures (to be distinguished from blacks from around the world).

The situation with the "N Word" sucks. Personally, I don't care whether Blacks use it or not. I just don't think that gives Caucasians the right to use the word.
Who really cares? If Chris Rock wants to use it 500 times in a show or Blacks want to call each other that word in a college practice, fine, let them.
It just sounds like crap for Whites to use it in situations like Cooper did or Paula Deen did. Use your brain. If you aren't Black, don't use the N-word. Is it that difficult to do?
It's been years since I called my friends crackers or honkies!

Nothing new about that.

This whole ridiculous thing is going to cost a man his livelihood. Simply because a bunch of blacks and Jews want to pretend this offended them.

No need to be a racist Opie. Pretend? I'm pretty sure he wasn't saying that in the locker room. If he did, we would have seen very quickly, who it offended. lol. In all walks of live,we pay for the choices we make. Riley is a professional athlete and failed to conduct himself as such in public. When you get to the NFL, they give you classes on how to live life as a professional athlete. Sadly, Cooper must not have paid attention in those courses. It's not as much as who he offended as much as the NFL not wanting to take the risk of dealing with such an issue. He obviously had hidden bigotry against black people that he certainly didn't show while playing in the NFL, but now it has come to the light and whether it is understood or not, the very same race of people that he made the derogatory remark about are the majority on each and every NFL team. That's is not a good situation at all. It was one of Riley Cooper's associates that recorded him and made the video go viral, not a black or Jewish individual. So who's really to blame? There really is no place for racism or bigotry of any kind in this Country. It's ignorant and stupid. How could anyone play on an NFL team, shed blood with and go to war with other races, nationalities, and ethnic groups and at the same time hold inner bigotries towards them as a people. That is extremely contradictory. And although I hope he receives an all out second chance, I hope he will learn his lesson and learn to have much more respect for himself and others.

What top shelf player have you seen do that? His "black" quarterback was released from the Falcons, put in prison and rejected by many other teams, for being associated in dog fighting. Are you saying that Michael Vick isn't a top shelf player? When have you ever seen a player whether it be bottom feeder or top shelf get publicly heard and validated as making such a bigoted comment and nothing happen? He needs to go on the offensive and tell people to grow up, yet he was talking about jumping a fence to go fight people? What he did was go on the defensive and inform team security that he has been receiving threats. It's ironic how people speak, in any type of manner and then when the heat comes in their direction they melt.

Women call each other b*thces and h*oes all the time, yet if a man calls them one, they are ready to crucify them. Regardless of how it pronounced, people use words in different context amongst each other Women feel that we can't call them words that they use among one another because "we are not them". Just as most have used the r*dn*ck word, or wh@te tr*sh, we wouldn't take a liking to anyone using it in a derogatory manner towards us. Jewish people, although they identify themselves as Jews, find it rather disrespectful a lot of times to be called Jews by others. Our society is full of contradictions and hypocrisy, but regardless of that fact we are supposed to treat others as we want to be treated. Who cares what others call each other and how they pronounce the words they use. If you got mad at your wife or your girlfriend and in the mix of an argument called her a b!cth (not to say you have, but come on plenty do); that would be quite different then if another man walked up and called her one in front of your face wouldn't it? There would be a serious problem.
