In regards to racism against blacks, the first place to start is with the black community itself. As long as people are going around calling each other the "n word" it will always be around. I don't agree with that "it's alright for us to use it but not you" crap. I know MANY college educated and/or doctorate level black people who will not talk to another black person if they use that word.
I worked with a guy who was black and called EVERYONE the "n word"- one of the guys I worked with called him that one day and the guy punched him.
The black community has to stop using words like that and then you will see how "alive racism is"
Ugh. I was hoping I wouldn't have to address this, but I guess I have to. Black people don't go around and say, "Yo n-gger." They say, "nigga," which means Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished. Please don't turn this into a whole Black thread or start bashing rappers. I am talking about all minorities here and BTW, a lot of Hispanics at my school call each other 'niggas' too. -Pat
