And that was before the Internet, My Space, Face Book and Twitter and the like. Can you image what future politians will face?

I am constantly amazed at what people put on their Facebooks and/or Myspaces. It has already cost people jobs, but can you imagine the 2048 Jerry Brown campaign against the 2048 Meg Whitman (Cali governor race)? "Do you really want a governor who walked around in a skimpy bikini, smoking pot and drinking shots?"

Ya, but its ok for them and widespread to call each other the n word or call their girlfriends sexual names.So i would say when they want it to stop, then stop doing it themselves,then maybe it will be a beginning of the end it.

Yes, it's ok. They've earned the right to use it if they choose. Personally, I don't care for it, but until I've walked even an inch in their shoes, I'll let them do as they wish.

Red Herring.

BTW I've known a lot of blacks and none of them referred to others as boy or the N word

Red Herring. It's not about whites that want to call them the N word vs blacks. It's about Conservatives claiming to be an inclusive group but dropping terms like this

BTW I've known a lot of blacks and none of them referred to others as boy or the N word. Those that do should not be confused for all African Americans

No red herring, its reality,You havent known enough apparently.More do it than dont.Listen to the rappers, they are the ones spreading it most and the kids on the streets are copying them. Then there are the athletes,who are like construction workers they are bi lingual,work language and home language.I been there.

yeah, it's a red herring. It has nothing to do with the topic

and I never said black people did not use the term. I said I know a lot of black people and I never heard them use it. Those "rappers" do not represent all black people.

You have 2 logical fallacies now. Red herring and Sweeping generalizations

Let's stick to the topic.
