I believe that in order for Americans to graduate from racism that blacks need to let whites use the n word.

Whites *can* use the n word in the same respect that the can use other crude, derogatory, and explicit words. The relevant question is ... why would they want to?
My observation is that some (many) blacks feel different in America from other races do to the history of slavedom. Thus when some find success in capitalism there is still a feeling of not quite fitting in and by using the term they make light of that tension by reminding each other of what once was a very horrible time. The thing is that they do so lightheartedly with humor. I love it. I think it’s a sign of strength to be able to laugh at ourselves. You want racism to end? Then allow others to use the term similarly as the tension breaker.

Me and my brother used to give my sister pure hell. We'd have spat after spat over silly things. But she was family... while anyone outside that family- circle wouldn't dare treat her with such disrespect lest my brother and I'd be all over them in a heartbeat!
The point being whites are not privy to that particular 'family-circle'. We - as a race - disqualified ourselves from consideration. It's about respect.
Progressive Socialist Liberals.Should other people stop calling whites "crackers"?
Frankly, that is offensive to me.
And what about people attacking Christianity at the same time they think it offensive for anyone to say anything bad about the Muslims!
They are all hypocrites of the worse kind.

If you think white people are discriminate against in any meaningful way by not being able to sue the n word.
Well then you have no idea what real racism is like, or the abuse and discrimination many people of colour go through.
Jerry, how about just not calling anyone, anything they find offensive? It's not a new idea. It's called "manners."
Use manners. Those who don't? Have pity on those people. Life is probably not very good for them.
[MENTION=15326]intojoy[/MENTION] - go right ahead and start calling black people ******* if you want. No one is stopping you.
Be sure to report back after you do, okay?
