I'm white, so take it with a grain of salt, but... (4.33 / 1)
...we can use the N-word whenever we want.  But be aware it will be within the rights of anyone who hears you to kick your ass.

Also, that second video was pretty funny.

Getting your ass kicked... (4.50 / 0)
...is the risk we take just by getting up in the morning.  But some things are riskier to do than others, and some of those risks are unnecessary, as well as unprofitable.

Chris Rock's bit is a lot funnier when you hear his setup and the rest of the act.

Don't like it. (none / 0)

I heard that same argument about flag burning from Bob Dornan.

I don't like it.

Nobody has the right to kick anyones ass over something like that.

Sure, maybe it's not a ''right''... (none / 0)
...to kick someone's ass for calling a black person a "nigger", but it's going to happen anyway, and the kicker will get more sympathy than the kickee.  When the police come we can only hope that they'll both get locked up,...

...hopefully, but not necessarily, in separate cells.

Well to me... (none / 0)
Kicking someones ass is a more serious crime than calling a black person that horrible word---and I admit, it's one of the worst words around---terrible.

Lock someone up for saying that word? Well, that's just nuts. And in reality, it wouldn't happen.

There are a lot of variables, however.

Not for saying the word (none / 0)
No, I wouldn't want to lock someone up for saying the word.  But anyone white person who calls a black person a "nigger" -- or any black person that calls a white person "white trash" (I think we need to let them slide on "honky" because it's such a funny word) -- maybe should be put in protective custody for being too stupid to get out of the way of an oncoming bus.

Say what? (none / 0)

"within the rights of anyone who hears you to kick your ass"

I doubt that very much.

Time to rethink that one, pal.
