That doesn't excuse it, but goes back to my point that he lives in a different world than most of the people up in arms about it. In his world THAT is how you use THAT word - for better or worse.
I guess I just dont by his "excuse", "justification", "explanation" or whatever he's trying to pull here.

If she's (the girl) a loser, I dont see why he would use n***** to decribe her that way. His quote is fairly malicious and Im sure he has plenty of black friends, but to say the n-word repeatedly, even in the 'street version' (lame) is inexcusable.

I know youre not trying to say it's okay or defending Dawg, because frankly, he's not worth defending. I think his actions over his lifetime are evidence that he's one step away from being a societal liability at all times. He is a convicted felon who lives a life precariously close to his former life, surrounds his life with losers and crime, and continues to push the law to the envelope (Mexico).
