I have to disagree with you guys saying that 'nigga' shouldn't be said. Well, until 1865, they were referred to as n-ggers. That's one word that could sum up America and show how far we have come. I also disagree with Turi and DMC about the hiring of Black people and other minorities. I think that they should be looked at first in SOME cases. In most cases, the White race is ALWAYS better for the job. If we don't give Blacks an extra boost, then they will go right on welfare. If you guys think that SOME minorities aren't as smart as the White race (which I agree, don't bombard me), then does that mean you want to segregate everything again? Whites and Whites? Blacks and Blacks? Hispanics and Hispanics? I do believe that Whites hold an advantage, though some of the White race could use some benefits too, but we must remember that Whites were never used as slaves and didn't have to experience the struggle of the 1800's and most of the 1900's. -Pat
