Sorry...I would have laughed too.

I could not agree less on the "kept within the black culture (like the use of the "N" word)". If a black can call a black the "n" word, then everyone ought to be able to do so. The opposite is also true- if "you " use it then "we" should be able to also. If you want everyone to be equal, then the lines of distinction need to be erased- meaning you have to act as if they don't exist. You cannot say "we black people, or we white people" without excluding some other group. When you exclude you invite discrimination.
