If the N word is so bad and is so insulting to the Af-Am community why do they use the word constantly when referring to each other in real life, film and song? I think they have successfully neutralized the word as they did a generation ago, by using the word ‘black’ to describe their beauty and their culture.

As all the films that come out of Hollywood attest to, the American culture has disintegrated to and is populated by undereducated masses who can only utter 4 or 5 letter words. And if we look like an Empire in decline and the fall is greeted gleefully by an expectant rest of the world, who can blame them?

After tuning into these pages often I have to surmise that Hollywood and celebrity in general are populated by a bunch of no talent low-lifes on all sides. Pigs in tuxedos and ball gowns. Nicole Ritchie… what does she do? She is always here. Lindsay Lowen drinks and has lunch? What else does she do? And whats-her name-Willis… what does she do? I could go on and on.

Perhaps little Leo is the only one with any class, but he is still a pup and will be spoiled rotten just like all celebrity kids, ride on his mother’s fame and have nothing to bring to the party himself like so many of the people aggrandized in these pages. I suppose we will have to read long tomes of his rehab and back sliding ad nausium…. I hope he doesn’t wreck the car and hospitalize a friend…. It all makes me want to puke sometimes…. Why am I not like the others who actually enjoy this….

Oh…. anger peppered with curses is just a mark of a person who can not articulate his or her true feelings…. eatshitmuthafurkers

Jamie from the UK and Joan, you two disgust me as much as the ‘N’ word and Charlie Sheen! It’s already been established that it is used as an insult so I will not belabor that any further. However, my comment to the two aforementioned morons is this — African Americans had been beaten, oppressed and unjustly treated for centuries. The ‘N’ carries a legacy of negative connotations to it, so how anyone could use that word to describe a person or as a profanity is so beyond my comprehension. In that same vein, there is absolutely no comparing being called a cunt, b!itch or any or obscenity to being called a N!gger. If you are going to compare, just make it a true apple-to-apple comparison. If an anti-semitic slur was yelled out, I’m sure Jewish people would be in outrage. Moreover, Charlie Sheen would be completely black-listed especially since Hollywood is run by Jews!

i have been known to say such words as the “n” word and the “f” word when stubbing my toe for example. i am neither a racist or a “homophobe”. my toes are white, and (mostly) straight. these are curse words. jeez, its not like he said “denise you n*****, yes i am saying you are indeed a person of color whom i have ignorant prejudice against and thats why i’m calling you this…”
and when someone says you m-er f-ing b-word i don’t see peta getting all bent. or the society against mothers who have sex or whatever.

Jamie from the UK & Antisocialite: You are both dumb! Either way it goes, that word has an extremely negative connotation so stop trying to downgrade it.

It’s just an insult–not a racial slur. Just like calling someone a whore when they’re not a prostitute. What difference does it make? She’s pathetic. I actually have much more respect for Charlie than I do her. She’s a psycho and I hate that she drags her kids around all the time like they’re an accessory.

I agree with the limey. N*gger doesn’t always refer to negroes. I’m sure the fine person that Charlie Sheen is would never use it as a dis to one of the brothers.

He’s a useless idiot no matter what words he uses. And she’s stupid for putting up with verbal abuse. Nuff said.

The ‘N’ word was originally used to describe itinerant irish workers in the united kingdom. it originally meant anyone of a low social standing and background. get over it people.
