ls this a racial thing? l mean listen ... hear me out... People shouldn't throw around the "N" word like a sentence enhancer, but come on. l'm ltalian, when people call me a fat ass, meatball eating mobster l laugh. lt's funny. l know l'm not fat, and l hate meatballs. Most people don't mean to be nasty or racial. lt's just a joke. What about "white-trash?" lsn't that the "N" word equivalent for a white guy? No one cares about that.
Maybe it's because blacks were enslaved once ( a long time ago!) and they just find the word offensive.... l don't know. ls that what enslaved African-American's owners called them? What does the word "NlGGA" come from anyway? But why can black people say it, but if a white dude says it, it becomes racial?
Like l said, don't throw it around everyother sentence, but it shouldn't be something worried about to much. ls the word Mexican -blamed-? ls the word Jew -blamed-? People take stuff so personally. l laugh at jokes like that. lf some one starts flaming someone because of their skin color, okay, fine it's wrong. But you all gotta lighten up.
