This is serious stuff, and I think all the people posting jokes are showing bad taste... whether you are black or white. I think the remix is in bad taste also.

It's not alright to use either word, because it is attempting to offend people just because of the way the were born. It is worse than fuck or shit because those are relative. It is worse than g-- d----, because this is based on faith (but I don't use it because although I don't care, I don't want anyone messaging me about religion.)

You want people to stop using the word, then don't add to the problem.

I can understand that it's offensive but why are black musicians and comedians allowed to use it? It makes it hard to take seriously when we see a room full of black people laughing at a black comedian constantly saying the word. Why doesn't the black community as a whole come down hard on it's own who are themselves using such offensive language? I guess what I'm trying to say is to lead by example and if black people themselves don't respect how hurtful the word is why should they expect others to?

For the record the video does portray the teacher as a nutcase and whatever the story is it's very inappropriate for him to use the word and he should be punished for it (sent home without pay, etc).

@ Lafiel: Oh, ok. What I said was just what my black buddy told me. I'll have to tell him that.

@ steven 787
All cussing is intended to be offensive. So it clearly a double standard to say "n" is more offensive as someone called you "m..f..", or using g..d , etc. I don't like any offensive language especially taken the Lord's name in vain.

I wouldn't use that word if I was him. Black people, though, have to decide if it's offensive or not. It can't be non offensive when a black sais it and offensive when a white sais it. It makes no sence and I think it is unfair how black people use it against others to call them racists when they use the word themselves.

It is stuff like that that seperates the human race insteed of uniting it.

this is stupid, but hey people love to be in the spot light and take things out of proportion.

There are plenty of people in the black community that find anyone using the N word offensive. That said some choose to self segregate and then complain about being treated differently (they also like to attack bill cosby).

I believe the teacher on this one. He's an uncool white guy who sees everything as nice and fun, and everyone as friends, and I'm sure the kid said the "n word" to one of his friends, and he used it as well. Kids lie, grownups who know better don't use the "n word" as a racial insult in front of their classroom.

That said, I'm white and I say "niggah" all the time to my black friends. It's not the same as "the n word," cracka weezy.

Blown way out of proportion, imo. Guy will get fired because the country is full of PC groupthink news orginizations, like the New York Times, who lie to get papers sold. 

Grey Acumen: "Face it, black people don't get personally offended by nigga/nigger, it's an excuse."

THat's one of the most ignorant things I've heard in a long while..
