We both know if most of the people responding in that thread had known he was black when he said that, he wouldn't have gotten the reaction he got. He needed to be banned to be fair to anyone else on this board who made that statement, but if he had said that in a black barbershop somewhere no one would care, or at most he would have caused some back and forth between those of us who don't agree that there is a difference between black people and n-words.
The n-words = stupid black people, was started in the black community and is still pushed publicly by black entertainers. The biggest issue with this being non black people trying to apply this in real life situations to disguise their racism. While we may disagree with that train of thought and it is fair to say they are stupid/part of the problem for pushing this idea, no one is calling them and the black people who repeat this thought process racist.
