Of ALL people! Kind of hard to tell Whites not to use the "N" word isn't it? It's a personal choice. I don't have a problem with it when it is lobbied against me, because I know how to come back and bring the attacker to his or her knees. White, Black or Brown.
If you know your history and understand basic psychology you will know how to respond. Crying and whining and going on the Internet calling people racists is self-defeating and in fact continues its use, and one's powerlessness.
However, knowing that Jesse,(first name) since people like to disrespect our President Obama, stood tall deflecting the taunts and pain of marching for the rights of not just African-Americans but all people, he would be the last person expected to utter those words in a public forum.
I still agree with Minister Farrakhan, that to live in America is so become psychotic. (Even though am currently displeased with HIM thrashing President Obama.) Depression, psychosis and egotistical self importance thrown in with basic jealousy seem to be at the core of this type of behavior.
We cannot legislate, love , s*x, or internal feelings developed in childhood. It won't work.
It's not that rappers or users of this word feel insecure or have low self esteem, it's the fact that there is a societal dynamic going on. If every Black American woke up next week and their belief system suddenly changed by divine intervention, deciding to RUN this country, take over Wall Steet, Insurance Agencies, filling the political field top heavy with their own? you would see a cataclysmic disturbance. Simply stated the shoe would be on the other foot.
The game has not changed, only the players.
