- 1.60 of 100 awarded in contratcs! They did not say they were getting 1.60 out of every 100. They are still getting 100 worth of product. The money was to rebuild Haiti, not employ Haitians! It is our money let us employ our unemployed!

Fri Nov 12, 2010

I agree the word is wrong but please consider the following.

The fact that she decided to release her frustration with the black community on this woman who is also black is wrong. You can't blame the black community for something some black people do any more than you can blame ALL white people for something ignorant a white person does. All too often though, this happens. You should check this out : http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2010/08/14/nr.n.word.cnn It explains a lot and it sounds like you need an education.
I'm black, I don't use the word. No one in my family uses the word and I don't like hearing it. So no, not every black can say the word because not every black will let themselves use it morally or ethically. You do know that their is all different kinds of black people just like white right.? What I want to know is why do some white people feel they have the RIGHT to use the word just because someone else uses it? Why do they even WANT to use the word?! This is nonsense! One shouldn't base what's morally right on what they see others do or not do. The fact is even though it's wrong, black people who use it are sometimes ignorant but when white people use it, it is out of contempt and condescending. Why else would they WANT to use it? What? you feel left out? Hypocrisy is coating an apology with "I was trying to make a philosophical point". It makes no sense That's like you coming to me asking me to help you cook dinner and I go off about how if my ancestors were not enslaved and made to cook for free I would want to help you. While it may or may not be true, there is no need to argue that...it's not what you came to me for. That is what she did, and THAT is wrong...it shows she has a much deeper underlying issue with black people. And you don't need a Doctorate degree to get that. The fact is even though it's wrong, it is easier to take from your own. You know their is a limit with them, with someone "outside" your race, it's hard to take because you don't know if their ignorance ends there or if they want to cause people like yourself harm in someway. I encourage you to look at the link, its really good.
