This is gay. My black friends call me "nig*a" , they call each other that, and god forbid i happen to say it to a non black friend, the liberals would classify me as a racist and charge me with a hate crime. It's only a word. Since when is "Nig*er" worse than "fuck"?

Does this mean we can no longer say "Cracker"? It's now The "C" Word.
Wop is the "W" word......and so on, and so on.

See my point? I do have to admit the teacher was wrong even though he meant it in jest. He's supposed to be a professional and he never should have spoken to that kid like that.

To all the "African-Americans" (trying to be politically correct here), if you dislike the "N" word so much, how come it's part of your every day vocabulary?
