Interesting analogy (is that the right word?), but the difference is that the 'N' word is not used by "ghetto blacks" to intimidate other groups.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe that is how they use it.

What do you think? Should the N word be allowed on the field by some and not others and the difference between who can and who cannot being race?
I can call my mother a *****. If you do it do you think I'll be OK with it?

Same concept. Life is not fair and the rules are some what fluid. Get used to it.

"The rules"??? Societies rules?? Can you think of other past rules of society which used skin color for a basis of expected and acceptable behavior? You really want to go down the path?

Besides calling you mom a n***** in public could backfire. What are you going to do if you call you mom a n***** and then I do too? LOL.

Play by what ever rules you feel like. Walk down to South Central LA and use the N word. I really don't care.

White guy marries Peruvian woman (San Francisco)

Well, when my (now ex-, thankfully) wife arrived here from Peru in 1994, English was DEFINATELY her second language, as hardly anyone speaks it in Arequipa, Peru's second largest city, located in the southern desert of Peru..

****

Anyway,

Shortly after she was here - in my place in San Francisco, one night she cooked me some exotic native Peruvian dish that I didn't care for at all.


"ewww, YUCK" !!!!, I exclaimed!


"Yuck YOU, N***** !!" she screamed !

I was stupefied. How did she get that, so quick, and knowing so little English back then!!!??"


But it was, I admit, awfully funny and clever of her to go and blindside me like that so fast.

Because what football players call each other is really really important.

The world is full of people who look aside when race based "rules" are considered normal. Where has that led us?

That's about right. Different ethnic groups have their own version of what is theirs and no one else's.

And some other posts which seem to indicate a particular "concern".
