So Don King used "the n-word" at a RNC event yesterday...

[Paragon]

...and then went on BET today to explain himself:

"Using the n-word is natural for the n-people."

:7

(No, I'm not making this up.)

[Syrinx]

1. Don King should be in prison

(Not for saying the N word. For killing people and stealing money.)

[RBHam]

2. And fixing fights...

prick

[Syrinx]

3. yeah, that too

Gitmo!

[physioex]

4. Don King is to boxing as Chalabi is to the Neocons....

What a bunch of morans....

[mike1963]

5. I'm no Don King fan, but he was saying the truth...the 'n' word is only

acceptable in certain circles these days. Does anybody here deny that?

[Paragon]

6. It's not that...

...it's using the phrase "the n-people" that gets the laugh.

All words have different meanings in different contexts -- I wouldn't use the word "cracker" at a KKK rally, either.

[lapauvre]

7. I know you are not making it up

I have observed the same, with the same wonderment.

But it seems it is okay, among blacks to use the word.

8. "natural for the 'n-people'? - Don King must be an elitist! n/t

[dbt]

9. bu$h has turned 98 percent of us into the "n-people."

And we are viewed as chattel by the BFEE.

:freak:
dbt

10. I'm glad he's on their side

How intelligent can the RNC be when they use him to get African-American votes?

Sad, really.

And I'm loving every minute of it! Like I said, give 'em the rope, and they'll hang themselves with it.

13. reaching out to black voters.........pathetic

don king and ed gillespe tag team steel cage bullshit match.

that pic of the former first lady gets me soooooooo HOT

[LTR]

14. I think Lee Atwater would have a better chance...

...of reaching out to black voters.

[ShaneGR]

11. PLEASE let him speach at the RNC Convention in NYC

PLEASE!!!

[ithacan]

12. well, he IS a republican isn't he

and one of the requirements of today's GOP is this kind of thing...
