Watching the news today with regard to the housemate in Big Brother for using the word Nigger. I just got to wondering who can use it and when is it racist? Ron Atkinson got fired from ITV for using then went on a personal crusade to determine whether using that word was racist. Indeed many black people use it when embracing another black person, "Hey nigger hows you and ya B.itch?" see where im coming from?
Chris Rock also mentioned in one of his stand up shows, "I love black people but man i hate niggers !"
Is this a law which means black people can use this word and white people cant? Correct me if im wrong but im finding this whole thing ridiculous, its either an offensive word or it isnt, where do we draw the line?
