Johnny S. Clarke & Lisa Straub- young Ohio couple murdered

[shitstorm]

Alot of ppl in Toledo say Nigga meaning my boy, my friend, Im not black but but I dont believe black ppl get
offended by beings that is what they say to their friends white black or Mexican. I hear them say it all the time I have a black cousins they say it all the time. Of course they are Gang Banging thugs. IDK.

It's my personal opinion. I'm married to a black man and I can't think of a good, intelligent excuse for that word to escape my lips.

Smart white people don't do it. Why was Eminem such a successful white rapper that got his music actually played on BET (black entertainment television)???? Because he knows not to use that word publicly and still get respect.

This is just my opinion. Obviously, you all are free to say whatever you want.

I agree with that and its not something I walk around saying. Im saying that young ppl use that slang. And from what I have noticed it dosent seem to bother the young black ppl, because they use it as a positive term. I dont understand why they use such a derogatory word as a positive saying but they do JMO. No disrespect to you or your husband.

I think that blacks referring to each other as niggaz, and gays calling each other queer, is taking an insult and owning it, taking the power away from the insulter. I think it's very misguided.
