And no other race knows what that is like? Classic.
Once it is used in everyday life. By anyone, not just the race that is saying it.
Hence if a black person says nig*er as in
"What's up nig*er!" or "ni*ga" (is that wrong too? The fact that it's spelled wrong?)
Once this has been done, in my opinion and many other that I have spoken to. It's no longer an issue. It must be completely stopped or ingnore it if it bothers you. That's it. That's all.
However back on topic - Richards has to be crapping himself right now. What he did was wrong. It was not ment as a slang term for friend or brother. It was ment in a derogatory context.
