Newly crowned Miss Teen USA is from Tomball...and used to drop the "N" bomb pretty casually

    LMFAO spend some quality time in the Midwest and you will hear n***er all the time. This idea that it is ignorant. Hell I heard it in Boston more than Houston and in Ohio and Illinois it is just accepted.

    More so in rap, which is a sub-genre of hip-hop. Here is a line that Lil Wayne used on his Grammy award winning album:

    I've heard people here try to argue that the n-word is a term of affection and endearment. So I'd like to know: how exactly is running up in a n-word's house and shooting their grandmother a term of affection and endearment?

    I don't accept it. You accept it. I don't find it funny at all.

    In that context, it obviously isn't. In some contexts, it's a term of affection (like "black brother"), and in other contexts it's a more neutral term (like "black guy").

    Most people can distinguish the meaning in context.

    Okay, so this 18 year old just listened to a whole lot of 80's rap? Yeah, sounds legit. She's probably got Iceberg on a loop.

    Meh.......not the first time a white person has used that word in public and it won't be the last. It has been happening since the 1600s on this side of the world.

    I don't know a lot about her, but I suspect she isn't consciously racist. She just probably holds some subconscious stereotypical/racist views like most people on the planet seem too.

    Sure but it was his money that funded Death Row Records and pretty much everyone they signed did.

    I accept what? I find what funny?

    The only thing I "accept" is the fact that racism and the term n****r is used every damn day in areas outside the South. Indeed when I lived in Boston I heard it far more often and more casually than in Texas.... Chicago? White people seem to use the term with little stigma. Ohio? Yeah...

    The idea that it is the big bad South that has the market cornered on racism and the use of an offensive term is simply not accurate.

    Yeah but that goes against the stereotype and clearly CometsWin struggles to see past stereotypes. That's just how he chooses to see the world.

    You can't judge a child that harshly. I grew up in New Orleans and used the N-word all the time as a kid. When I got older I realized the larger context. Believe me the context I used it in was far worse than this girl.

    People grow as human being - which is one thing I don't like about holding people's past so harshly against them. We all make mistakes. I have made mine, and I am sure you have made yours. Especially a 14 year old - c'mon man - who here as a full grown mature adult is like how they were at 14???

    Yeah I never claimed the South had it cornered, I said I guessed it was from some former Confederate state and I was right. You said it was accepted which means it's acceptable. It's not acceptable to me. We can agree, the n word is in wide use around the country and it's unacceptable. End of story.

    The context is that it is an offensive term no matter the orator's race or intention. BTW, I'm pretty sure Richard Pryor used the n-word with a hard -er all the time, and if I'm not mistaken that is what inspired Dave Chapelle (which black comedians like Whoopi Goldberg took exception to the use of that word).
