Moon's comments are entirely within the context of the Chris Rock video.
Too many people complaining about crap they don't understand. Too many trigger happy mods. This place just got a whole lot dumber. Moon annoyed the hell out of me sometimes, but if he gets banned over this then I am done here.

I guess they are entirely within context of the Chris Rock video (although I would argue that Evander Kane doesn't even come close to fitting Chris Rock's definition, so in fact moon usage is extremely racist), but a black comedian discussing the use of the n word vs. a white dude on a message board is entirely different. Chris Rock as a comedian and a black man is allowed to call other black men the n word (whether he should is another question). People love to use this Chris Rock bit as proof they are allowed to use the slur. 1. They ignore the Chris Rock bit that says that white people can't use it unless they are rapping along with a song. 2. Chris Rock retired this bit because white people were using it to support the claim they were allowed to use the word. So even Rock himself believed that people shouldn't be using his "context" to throw around the slurs.
So I guess my question to you (and anyone else who uses this bit to justify dropping the n word) is have you ever paid attention to anything else Chris Rock has said about race?
