If you're going to use that logic, are you saying there's never been an outrage on black on black crime?

No it was because she discriminated against her black employees and want them to act like they were on the plantation and she was their master. Did you actually read the lawsuit?
Use the word or don't use it at all.

Right? Like the people critizing her for using it 17 years ago have lived a life of such gracious character.
Tim Allen is also a drug dealer and sold out lots of other drug dealers to get a reduced sentence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Allen#Personal_life
Wouldn't be putting too much stock in what he thinks about anything tbh

So you don't know the real reason people are upset either huh?
If you're truly interested you should read up on it. There was much more to it than that.
When you describe how you want caterers to dress as little niggers, you're doing it wrong.....
Brosef, please.
Played by Tom Hanks
Who was that comedian who said whenever you see or hear the N-Word you automatically think 'nigger' in your head anyway and not actually the 'N-Word'?
'Cause I get that and I can kind of see where Allen is coming from, but saying the word over and over doesn't take the power away. At all

Here's the thing, I've been around black people my entire life, black people in the South and here in my native Chicago, and I honestly can't recall being called a nigger by one. I hate the word, and it wouldn't matter the skin color of the person who lobbed it at me.
Whenever this topic springs up I struggle with conflicting feelings. One, frustration because no one seems to acknowledge the very real difference between nigger and nigga. And two, slight embarrassment, because on the surface it's such a silly distinction that any argument over it would seem ridiculous. So I usually just opt to shut up and watch while people go back and forth about how black folk shouldn't say "nigger" either while quietly thinking to myself, "but I don't..."
I won't touch this. But I want to.
wasn't that Louis CK?

Yes. We need to be mad at what someone said almost 2 decades ago if we're going to have a serious discussion about race relations in America now.
Same guy who has defended wearing Fedora's. Post should be taken with great skepticism.
I feel you my nigga.

But we have dozens of threads about whether its acceptable or not. A lot of people find it an interesting thing to talk about, but don't feel comfortable using the word itself (like me, right now) for fear of accidental offense or reprisal. In that case, a substitute is needed.

Shameful word nobody should use.
Just look up the controversy. No one cares she called the robber a nigger. People care she wanted her black employees to be slaves and for her to be their master in a plantation themed wedding.
they hate us cause our dicks is bigga?
Repeat after me: nigger, nigger nigger nigger nigger, nigger nigger nigger nigger, nigger nigger nigger. BAM, the scare is gone.
If you're black and someone says nigger to you in derogatory fashion you have the right to falcon punch him in the face, but that applies to every derogatory word.. and race.
Same logic applies.
There shouldn't be a discussion about it if we are not mature enough to use the word we are discussing.
You did "touch it" by quoting it. Is there a problem with something I said? Serious question.
Actually, I defended people's desire to wear whatever they want without assholes talking smack about them for no reason. It was a circle jerk thread full of wanna-be fashion critics bashing guys they deemed to be ugly or something.
He probably did talk to Wilson first. This sounds like one of those situations where Wilson gave him sage advice, and now he's trying to explain it to someone else and totally fucking it up.
No, unfortunately talking about the "n-word" controversy is ratings gold for cable news.
When I was an older teen there was a fad of white kids using the word nigger to refer to anything they thought was bad or stupid or fucked up. So if someone told them something or did something they didn't like, they were a 'nigger'. Or if door was stuck or a box was hard to open, the door was 'being a nigger', a car that wouldn't start was 'being a nigger'. Some of you may have encountered it. Some of you probably did it.
It was a display of sheltered ignorance and entitlement and disdain that I didn't see often. A personal freedom to use that word to describe everything negative in the world, and they didn't understand the origin or the irony. They certainly don't give a damn about the true misery. I wish I could impart it onto you so you could understand. But words fail.
