So Don King used "the n-word" at a RNC event yesterday... |
|
...and then went on BET today to explain himself:
"Using the n-word is natural for the n-people."
:7
(No, I'm not making this up.)

1. Don King should be in prison |
|
(Not for saying the N word. For killing people and stealing money.)

5. I'm no Don King fan, but he was saying the truth...the 'n' word is only |

acceptable in certain circles these days. Does anybody here deny that?

...it's using the phrase "the n-people" that gets the laugh.
All words have different meanings in different contexts -- I wouldn't use the word "cracker" at a KKK rally, either.

7. I know you are not making it up |
|
I have observed the same, with the same wonderment.
But it seems it is okay, among blacks to use the word.

How intelligent can the RNC be when they use him to get African-American votes?
Sad, really.
And I'm loving every minute of it! Like I said, give 'em the rope, and they'll hang themselves with it.
