Epic Argument over use of the N-Word by two black CNN anchors

[Vanguard101]

****** is ridiculously offensive. Saying nigga really isn't. Most people that care when other non-blacks say nigga are just lame social justice warriors. You can turn terrible words in history into something neat. Tupac turned nigga into never ignorant getting goals accomplished. Eminem turned "white trash" into something special.

Nigga is a stupid word too and makes those who use it look stupid. I could care less who uses it but that's my perception.

Why does Don Lemon hate women?

Don Lemon is with no doubt a racist. CNN is airing hate speech that sounds like the black equivalent to the clan. They get away with it by masking it with a black male that has soft features, smiles and adds comedic quips which is standard operating procedure for the left to propagandize to the ignorant masses.

I heard the word wigger today. Thought that was pretty funny. Maybe it'll replace cracker.

Unlikely - not a new word, been around as long as whites started dressing like the rappers they like. 20+ years ago.

On a related note, another term (U-word) that was in news headlines is controversial or politically correct when used in context of current politicians?

The thing is there are a lot of intelligent people who come from poor minority neighborhoods where this is a common word usage so I wouldn't assume a person who uses it is stupid. In fact, there are a lot of conscious hip hop artists who use it - usually not as much as some that are more inclined to gangsta rap but they use it nonetheless.

I find n***a to be a much better word and acceptable to use, often promoting camaraderie and brotherhood among an oppressed group of people. I don't say it myself unless I'm absolutely positive there are no black people around. If they are, then if anybody's sayin it they are sayin it. Otherwise it's just kind of a cool thing to say to your friend before a fist bump or some such. I will play music that uses the word frequently while black people are around and I've never had any issues with that.
