Is The N Word Off Limits To Everyone?

Different people will have different connotations for words, and that's not unique to this one word. If you want others to share your opinion, then the best way to do it is the way TUCKER does... make others be aware and sensitive to YOUR connotation of the word. Assuming people with differing opinions are "boardering on lunacy" probably won't cause anyone to change their behavior.

If you found my post to be offensive, I apologize, that was not my intent, I happen to be a peace loving individual. However, we all express ourselves in different ways, and we are not all monolithic. I am not Tucker and Tucker is not Jamal, so we are going to express ouselves differently, the best way for me to express my opinion is the way I choose, you don't have to agree with it, but thanks for the suggestion.

No need to apologize. I was not offended by your post. My comments regarding TUCKER's approach were not directed at you, per se; but were meant to be general commentary. My fault fault for the misunderstanding.

Please tell me others are getting this same advertisement. I'm starting to wonder if someone put JP up to this.

Theres that one and the one that Bishman and I mentioned with the barbarian male posed above the Black female and a caption about coloring outside the lines. About your picture though theres a tv commercial that comes on F O X, in the morning hours promoting the same thing.

You must be hungry, you know I'm going to jump all over you when you leave yourself for an opportunity like this! SMART KIDS, how smart could they be if they're talking like the "braindead" kids that most "SMART" kids think they're better than? Was your "smart kids/braindead kids" an intentional oxymoron? If it was then brilliant! If it wasn't then "NEVERMIND!" LMAO

For your mission to get folks to stop using the word, I think you've got the right approach, as you described in the last paragraph of post #4.

AT LAST, AT LAST, EVEN A BRICK'LL CHIP IF YOU BEAT ON IT LONG ENUFF! Hey, but on the real, I'm glad you're coming around, even if its just a baby step.

Smart kids can be ignorant. If you're saying this is only an issue of stupidity instead of ignorance, then I'll have to disagree with you. It's cultural; it's not that people who use the word are smarter than everyone who doesn't. That's all I was trying to point out.
