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).
