CMV: It is not okay for certain ethnic groups to say certain words and then get offended when others say it.

I was watching a video where rapper and actor Ice Cube was talking with comedian and political comentator Bill Maher over Maher's use of n****r. Ice Cube made an arugument that i have heard many people make. When white people use that word, years of black opression and institutional rascism are felt in the word where as when black people say it, it is nothing more as a way to reffer to your friend. I think that this ideoligy is rascist. Believing that certain groups can use words based soley on their race is rascist and divides groups more than they already are. I am a believer that either EVERYONE can say a word or NOONE can say it. Obviously if a white person says "n****r" with the intention of hurting or offending a black person that is not okay but if they use it with no negative intent, much like a black person would, there is nothing wrong with that.

The "n" word is meant to disparage black people. Someone like Ice Cube, who is black, has every right to rob the word of its power. All he is doing is taking a weapon aimed at him and disarming it.

The same goes for any ethnic disparity and its targets.

And to your one point: Everyone of all races *is* free to say the word. The US is a free country. And if a white person says the n word, we're all free to ostracize him or her as an asshole.
