[QUOTE="superballs63, post: 1439951, member: 17658"] ... They're black, not African American, political correctness is a bunch of crap. If you come to the US after being a citizen of Africa, then you are African-American, German citizenship? German-American. Italy? You got it, Italian-American. I'll guatantee you that REAL African-Americans are horribly offended at the frequency of use in this cou try of that word, I'm sure they really "embrace" the thug culture which has made it cute and fun to say to your homeboys. They have not "taken back the power" of that word, because if they had, when a white person says it it wouldn't mean anything, much like if a black person called me a honkey.....I couldn't care less. You call a group pf black people that, you're getting jumped or shot. The word still hurts their feelings and makes them reach for their wristbands If it's ok for Dr. Dre, Snoop dogg, Jay-z, Little Jon, and the like to say it, then whites can say it too. I don't need Chris Rock telling me what words I can or cannot say due to my race. The first ammendment hasn't been suspended last I checked. [/QUOTE]
