^^^ good point, i mean to take that even further, why do blacks that dont like the N word listen to hip hop. that music does more to hurt the black race than a silly little word that presently isn't nearly as effective as it was even 30 years ago! i always find a way to bring hip hop into a discussion, im trying to start the hip hop reformation, i guess... if you dont like the N word, then you shouldnt like, Jay Z, 50 Cent, Lil Flip, P. Diddy, Biggy, 2 Pac, Ja Rule, Nas, Petey Pablo, Lil John, and a host of other hip hop pseudo[false]artists!!!! denfense?

I feel you on that, I think that hip hop has done a lot to harm to black community but I predict that it will be the vehicle that promotes change in the black community the same way. We don't have any leaders like we had 30 years ago and unfortunately our leaders today are all entertainers but the good thing is that once we actually get some leaders in the entertainment business the message will spread like wild fire. For example when entertainers come out with a new word, new clothing style, new hair style, everybody in the hood has caught hold of it within a few days. They have power and now they are unfortunately **** it. I am more of a slow jamz, oldies, neo-soul brotha myself but I must admit at times I do find myself listening to music with the n word in it. I approach it the same way I approach my brothas and sistas who say it around me everyday. I wish they wouldn't say it but I think I gain more sometimes by overlooking the word that the music as a whole. Take Tupac for instance, one of the most prolific rappers of all time. Said some of the most intelligent things I have heard come out of such a young soul, I really wish he wouldn't have used the n word but if I didn't listen to his music because of it I would have never got his message. Its sad but that's unfortunately the way it works.
