That guy didn't even mean the word, he was just making fun of the student! Well, look, it's still offensive

Yeah... The meaning of a word changes with the person who is saying it. If it's said while meant as a regular word, there's no need to flip out about racism.

you're missing my real point though.

Nah, I was only elaborating something that was mentionned. You can resume your actual point.

And I like neither rap nor the term nigger.

i don't mind rap, but mostly because it's inintelligible and i can't make out the lyrics anyway.

For me, rap is fast-talking, not really singing because it doesn't require any singing ability or vocal range. I like rap but I don't like American rap. Rap exists in other languages as well, and I prefer it in things like Korean and Chinese (because I can understand it too and they don't use curse words every second sentence).

I really only have something against what (most) rap is promoting: Sex and Drugs.

That's also one of my main gripes with rap. Not only do I find most rap songs painfully repetitive, I don't get why they can't talk about something else. I'm not saying every single rap song is about the same thing, but the majority and the most popular ones are about the same thing.

Do you mean U.S. residents, or Canadians, or Mexicans, or Venezulanos, Colombians, Hondurans, Panamanians, Nicaruanios, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Haitian, Carribeaner, Native Americans, Eskimos, Black, African American, N-worded person, MexicanAmerican, Aztec Descendant-Mexican resident, AngloAmerican, Appalachians, Menonites or Amish, Hebrew, Arab American, Chinese American, PhilipeenAmerican, JapaneseAmerican, any other General Asian american i havent mentioned [Im going to stop here] ETC ETC
 

Or the fact that their is over a thousand variations of rap reaching as crappy as KFed, to the Wacky WeirdAL,  the gangsta FityCent, or the pimpin SnoopDeeOhDubleGee?


Dont generalize America, makes you look more ignorant than the people who call themselves "from America" and then expects everyone else to accept it as the truth.

And for the Repetetive part:
In US terms its called Brainwashing or "Mental Conditioning to Hardship Experience Training and Memoralization Techniques", thats why most hiphop or rap fans usually can recite the lyrics, becuase it only takes a few times to repeat a phrase before its permantely memorized. The US Army taught Me that
Thats really ironic that rap artists are actually using a tactic that the US Govt invented.

Lyrically speaking, there is no substance whatsoever, unless you call "I got mo' money d3n u" or "I fuk mo' bitchez d3n u" or simply "I b3tta d3n u" substance.  The current mainstream rap scene in this country is the saddest thing I've seen happen to music while I've been alive. 

Fact: Members of boy bands from the last decade had far more talent than mainstream rappers do today.

I am CAPITALIZING every other WORD in my POST.

Naughty, naughty... you're in the prescence of a black man here.

Bummer, my bad.  But yeah, I did say I've been watching the thread, but due to short term memory at times, I tend to forget specifics at times so I don't quite remember your position.  I'll go back and see, 'kay.
