"Morena"... some of us have truely struck that word from our
vocabulary,but sorry that there are still folks who cannot...
REDNECKS? what is in a name?
if you do not like someone for the color of skin...
why call names?

just leave that one alone,and stop all th hate...
God meant for us to be fruitfull and multiply!
he also wanted us all to be different,

we should all have to live in another's shoes,
before we judge another too harshly...........M.

I totally agree that the use of that word is totally inappropriate from
blacks, whites or anyone who feels the need to use it. Trust me, I
never use that word as a mutual greeting.....I use it to address anyone
who is acting like a fuckin' fool......idiocy has no color barriers.
Like I said, I use that word in some of my music and I ALWAYS make sure
it is directed to those who have earned to be called such a name.....in
direct reference to those who have made the image of an average black
man out to be a NIGGA. Sorry to say it.....this is just one of
reality's ugly faces. I don't even watch BET, MTV or listen to half the
radio stations anymore because the entire image has been terribly
polluted.

Anyone wanna hear this new track I'm working on? I'll email a copy of
it. This is just an example of my style of HIP HOP. I have a studio
and one at my house, but I didn't get a chance to finish it up.

Prejudism is centuries old and it may take centuries to due away with it
completely. Just be glad that we are all working on doing away with it.

Some day as the world becomes smaller and smaller, and races intermix
with each other; we may just be of one color and one nationality. Who
Knows......

I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT RACISM SINCE I WAS AROUND 10 YEARS OLD
NOW, LIVING AND GROWING WITH THE PROBLEMS OF RACISM ALL BEING USED
AROUND ME, I FELL THAT THE BROTHERS STARTED USING THE 'N'
WORD TO TRY AND DOWN-PLAY IT.
HOPING THAT IF THEY SAID IT ALL THE TIME THEN THE WHITE FOLK OR ANY NONE
BLACK CULTURE WOULD NOT BE SO QUICK TO USE-IT?
PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK THAT BY THEM USING THE 'N' WORD HAS
HELPED TO TAKE THE "POWER" OUT OF "THAT" WORD!!!
WE ALL SHOULD JUST LOCK THE"N" WORD AWAY, AND TEACH OUR CHILDREN
ABOUT IT, BUT TO ALSO TEACH THEM ALL ABOUT IT.
WHAT AND HOW THE SUFFERING AND PAIN CAUSED BY THAT ONE WORD HAS AND IS
STILL AFFECTING THIS WORLD AND OUR COUNTRY.
MY DAD TRIED TO RAISE ME TO HATE.
I CHOOSE TO BE-FRIEND AND TO LOVE, PEOPLE.
NO COLOR - NO LOOKS - NO MONEY - NO MINDS - NO TALK
WE ARE ALL HERE TOGETHER TO BE AS ONE, TO SEE EACH OTHER AS
WE ARE, AND TO NOT JUDGE EACH OTHER ON OUR INDIFFERENCE'S
THAT JUST MAKES US HUMAN, NOW WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND
IS JUST WHAT "HUMAN" IS. AND THEN NOT JUDGE!!!
ANYONE WHO WILL USE THAT WORD IN ANGER, IS RACIST!
ANYONE WHO WILL USE THAT WORD PERIOD IS WRONG!!!!
FOR 25 YEARS ON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS COUNTRY ON MY CB RADIO AND IN CLOSE
CONVERSATIONS AT TRUCKSTOPS AND RESTAURANTS ON THE ROADS I HAVE PREACHED
TO EVERYONE WHO IS PREJUDICE THAT THEY ARE WRONG. AND I WILL KEEP
SPEAKING AGAINST IT UNTIL I DIE.
THE DOWN-SIDE TO ALL MY TALKS IS THAT "IT" IS STILL OUT HERE....

So who judges people by, their atitude or personality? Don't be so quick
to judge by 1st impression, but really which matters?

4U.......Man, I read your statement with my jaw dropped.....that was
REAL. Thanks. I know there are plenty of people on this site who see
the topic but do not want to be involved with such a serious
issue......I feel for those people. I wish they'd take a second and
read some of the statements on here because I promise it'll give them
something to think about. Thanks again.

i think others just don't want to waste time explaining/typing mesages
or just hiding because someone with power on this country should take
action to change US to a more better statement of 'freedom'

I have tried to teach my kids to NOT EVER call anyone names or make fun
of them, in any way. I have been, somewhat, succecful in that my
children believe any kind of name calling is wrong. What, really, blew
my mind, though, is when My son and I moved from Texas to Indaina.
There, my son { then almost 14 } made lots of friends, right away of
every race. What was so weird, though, the black kids told my son, he
could NOT be friends with them unless he used the word, NAGGAR...Like
in: ''What's up, my naggar?'' It made me very upset, but I was able to
understand, after talking to my son's friends, that it was a fad...I
told them it was awful ''fad''. Any views on this?
