Black People are the last minority
Here's an article I wrote ithp.org...
leave me a comment if you want at the site
Black people are the only true minority; because black people are the only minority that did not choose to be here. Everybody else knew what they were getting into. Let's break down the decision of every non-white person that decided to move to America. You are travelling to a land that was once inhabited by a native people. None of these people exist anymore, because they were dominated by asshole white people. These same asshole white people, were so lazy, that they brought people from across the ocean in chains to do their work for them. Now these same asshole white people run the entire country, and you have decided to come here. Do you think they give a # about your culture, your traditions, your language, and your equal rights?
What'd you expect? A red carpet to opportunity. And it's not just America. If I moved to Mexico with 5 kids and 7 dollars, I don't think they'd bust out the mariachi band and throw me a parade.
In addition: Asian people aren't a minority, because they have too much money. You hit a certain tax bracket and sorry, but you're not a minority anymore. If we went to war with Japan again, there would be no round-up of the Japanese; we need them out here making money. The only people going to internment camps are the NRA, because we don't need those jackoff idiots firing off rounds at the Japanese when they're trying to work. Mexicans are 5 years #ing away from not being a minority.
And back to the Native Americans. I do feel bad for them, but they had it coming. If you're living on land with as much natural resources as America, you have to at least be aware that somebody is going to come and try to take that #. You've got wood, coal, iron, copper, oil, but you haven't advanced beyond the bow and arrow?
Yes, I know, I'm an asshole for even thinking about this

Its just another word used to dumb down society and the younger generations. They think its cool because they hear it in songs and on TV. Its not cool to use the word, but oh well people believe anything rappers say. Majority of us might start calling each other the B-word...and no its not black or the female dog. I'm really sick of hip hop these days....cant stomach 99% of it. Money, girls, shoes, clothes, jewelery, the N-word...........and then it repeats all over again in the next verse.

Lets go further, let's ban all bad words. Anything that is deemed offensive, and if words become offensive, let's ban them too. Even if the word offensive becomes offensive, we should ban it!
"Nigga" is offensive. It's disrespectful and offensive.
The thing is, you don't have a right to not be offended.
First amendment rights. Live with it, grow some thick skin and move on.

What I can't understand... is how can this stuff last so long? I mean what are we lookin at now... at least 20 years?... more?... Disco was a flash in the pan by comparison... thank goodness for that.

Well, you are right. So I challenge you to go down to Harlem with a bull horn shouting your first amendment right to say the word "nigga".
Until you do that, I will just consider your words hollow and have no probative value to the discussion. If you do that, then I have the right to stand outside your home yelling the C-word at your wife. No offense to your wife BTW. But if the first amendment is protected then I should be able to do that.
Right?
But to think it's not offensive in public is a true sign you just don't get it.

Hip Hop has turned into Disco, but it wasn't always this way. It used to be a voice for a voiceless community.

Ignoring that your second example would violate decency and obscenity laws, therefore not being considered protected speech - I think you're argument falls less into the category of "would these things be legal" - because in spirit they would be legal.
You've more tapped into listing things that would just be stupid to do and would probably produce some very bad results. IE being on the receiving end of epic and deserved violence or losing it all in a bitter divorce.
But stupid and illegal are different concepts.

N-Word. No place in today's society.
