Granted, the guys in this video were homosexual so there was more talking than action, but did she deserve a beat down for racial instigation? Or is this another case of African-Americans overreacting and using testosterone and drama to victimize themselves? Curious to hear everyone's views.
D&D bound this is, yes sure. Eh, nobody deserves to be beaten, unless they don't like Rockets basketball. Then they deserve to be beaten to a bloody pulp.
No. Allowed? Yes. Should they? Of course not. Its not for me to judge how offended black people should be when a white person utters that word.
That's what I don't get. Why does race matter for who said it or not? Is being offended by the word merely due to the context in which it was used? Then why do blacks get offended when non-blacks say it in the same context they use it? If blacks get so offended by this racial slur, maybe they should stop using it themselves.
You brought me in here under the guise of a videotaped beating, and gave me 2 minutes of "who'da thunk it?" drama from a drunk chick and some effeminate dudes? Shame on you.
Maybe since I am viewing this on my phone I didn't see it but i saw no beating in the video I viewed. Should white people be allowed to say it? Well there is nothing really keeping them from saying it now from the millions or clips and hundreds of people I have heard and seen use it. Sure they may have to deal with some backlash but it's not like anything is keeping ANYBODY from saying it and similar backlash is seen when other words are uttered as well by different groups. I personally don't use it and don't like to hear it in any context from anybody and I am African-American. It seems you just want to start a thread to justify your use of the word or slight African-Americans because I see no point in starting such a thread over this clip.

Stupid thread. Do you have something better to do than post ASU girls getting drunk and yelling out racial slurs? I hope you aren't on the job right now...
No. He started the conversation with the B word. She politely responded with the N word. It was a nice, civilized conversation between two erudite individuals.
