&quot;Yo, my nigga, that nigga&#39;s crazy,&quot; declares a young Dominican guy in his late teens, early

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Fam,
<br>
<br>
My post was not directed at you.  If it was then I would&#39;ve addressed it to you directly.  I re-read my post to be sure, and I&#39;m assuming you took the
part about &quot;Sweeping generalizations that &quot;all&quot; Latinos are comfortable calling Blacks &quot;nigger&quot; is wrong.&quot; as aimed at you.  For
that I assure you, that it wasn&#39;t.  What that was, was acknowledging that there are many people out there (not specifically you) that believe this is true.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p><strong><em>First of all Hirmski since you chose not to be specific and direct your comments toward a particular individual, I take it that my post was
included in your critique. Without getting into a lengthy dissertation let me give you &quot;my two cents&quot;. Whether a Black person is born in America or
on the island of Puerto Rico it doesen&#39;t make them &quot;less&quot; Black, IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR PRIMARY LANGUAGE! Thus the saying by the ancestor Malcolm

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>I think that while articles like this spark dialouge around a subject that is highly debatable, without a complete understanding of histories, experiences,
and overall politics, it can spark vast generalizations about whole groups of people and allow for others to capitalize on it on for their own gain.</p>

<p>The author of the piece refrences &quot;Latinos&quot; in the article, but her initial shock came after hearing two Dominicans using the term.  Now why is
this important?  It&#39;s... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ blackops2012, your point is taken. I don&#39;t disagree with what you say. All I&#39;m saying is I would love 2 see a day where we are so integrated that the
word has either a positive meaning, no negativity behind it, or just doesn&#39;t mean much at all. I understand that currently where we are at in human history
this is far from the case... But I believe as time goes on this could eventually happen (Probably not in our lifetime). I believe Hip Hop is one of the largest
forms of... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p><strong><em>Eleazar I couldn&#39;t agree more! There are some within that ethnicity that have a &quot;Eurocentric&quot; worldview and they are culturally
conditioned to believe that Blacks are inferior! So therefore they have no problem calling Blacks niggers! Also McFee you are entitled to your opinion!
However, you nor any other non-Black person gets to decide what is acceptable to Black people and what is not acceptable! ONLY Black people can determine what
is in our best interest! You... ]]></description>

the word will never disappear! So why not revalue it as our brother 2pac did. Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished! N-I-G-G-A... I believe this version of
the word has much respect 2 it. B4 u judge my opinion I would appreciate if you peep my youtube video <a target="_blank"... ]]></description>
