You sound moronic. You've been thinking about race for what . . . 10 minutes?
Isn't there a big difference between the humorous use of the "n-word" by a black comedian or actor? Do the situations seem comparable if the joker is of the same race?? Must I really break it down so simply for you? We know that the black community has a pretty dynamic sense of humor, as well as a great sense of culture, in general. (Or why is it always being copied?) You might need to be more adept to understand the difference. But this is so basic . . I am worried about you. I'm not sure your ideas are complex enough for this topic. It would be different if a black comedian/actor or whatever made disparaging remarks about white men or women, latinos, gays, etc. A group she or he is not a member of!!!
Don't even let me start on the differenc in mode of communication i.e. a comedian or musician vs. a syndicated talkshow host that politicians frequent. The radio is regulated by the FCC. Al Sharpton isn't always right, but Imus is clearly an idiot who won't shut up. His comments are so egregious, he has got to go. . .
What kind of social double standard? You're just pissed off the world is no longer so racist (and sexist) that YOU can say whatever you want.
Please stop "thinking" so much . . .

You and I know that you would never say "ax" around any Black person because someone would kick your ass. I think a wimpy white guy is acting bad on a BLOG! In public, I think we know you duck your head and scamper by . . .
