music N word this and that >.>
And what is really worse as now it's spreads, now hispanics use it (in my town) and it's just not right.
No, it's not. And what's worst is that I know people who feel that, because they're black, they have the right to use this word. Then, if they hear a white person use it, they flip out.

If someone pisses you off and directs it at you, let them have it ban or no ban.
All right, thanks for your opinion on that issue. How do you feel about racial slurs?
