I concur. I also do not 'truly' understand the black race's stance against the 'N" word, in the vein of which race can say the word, not the connotation of such word.
It used to be a derogatory term, but the black culture, namely the rap culture, have embraced it and use it profusely in their songs. I find it literally horendous that a word that can be freely played on the radio can not be spoken aloud in public by any citizen 'not' of that heritage.
Let's go back further back in history. The term "Jew" used to be a slanderous term for Judean. Jesus Christ was Judean, not Jewish. The modern day Jewish sect came down from the Khazars and settled in the Arab area, and adopted the Jewish religion. At any rate, that's a long story in itself and could strike a hearty debate. Nevertheless, the Jews took the sladerous name and embraced it, the same as the black race and the 'N' word.
However, anyone can say "Jew", but not everyone can say "N...". I don't really see this changing anytime soon. And it has nothing to do with the black race or the white race. And that, my friends, is what is truly sad.
