Well... the first thing is a question more than a statement. I've actually been thinking about it all day.
It is racy, but here ya go:

How black to do have to be to say the 'N' word?
I know I am sure that all black people aren't of pure 100% African ancestry.
I mean, can a white guy, with 25% african ancestry use the term freely? If not, then why could somebody with the same percentage, but has a darker (brown) skin tone be able to say it? Isn't the fact that some people can say the word, but others can't because of their skin tone - kind of racist in itself? Or is it just an attitude? Do you have to act a certain way to be able to say it? But then... that's stereotyping..

I used 25% because it sounds better than 1/16 or 1/8, but the same applies.

 

thats exactly what it is. I know a girl who is part indian, part african, and caucasian and she is white as heck.

I'm not following you....

 

Sorry, I was thinking of a way to write a large paragraph on to answer your questions with massive amounts of logic but couldnt think of a way.

Basically I agreed it is stereotyping but using my friend as an example, no one gives a rats ars that she is part this and that due to her skin color.

 

so... She wouldn't get in trouble if she blurted the 'N' word on TV?

 

 

no she would due to her being white. No one gives a damn about her being part african. Her skin color is white so she cannot say it without being called racist.

Got to love the logic of that when if you look at the southern part of Africa there are a ton of white Africans. I bet if they said the N word they would be called racist.

 

oh..... when you highlighted "that's stereotyping" I kind of thought you were saying I was stereotyping...

 

Anyway, it's really messed up.  They say something is racist, yet when people say the word, you have to have black or brown skin... That is bigotry.  Human behavior and thinking boggles the mind sometimes.
