Re: Atkinson resigns after making a racist comment

Ok-bear with me on this one......

I am a fan of Actor/Rapper 'Ice Cube'. He is the lead in a lot of what I would call 'black' films-Friday/Barbershop/All About The Benjamins etc.

The rhetoric in these films is mainly between black guys, & they constantly refer to each other as 'nigger', as in 'yo nigger-how's it going?'

If you think back a couple of years ago to Denzil Washington's character in 'Training Day', he regularly referred to Ethan Hawke's character as 'My nigger'.......

It does seem a bit strange that there is almost a culture these days of black guys/girls referring to each other as 'nigga'

What's also strange, is that sometimes when they use the 'N' word it's in a derogatory fashion, & sometimes it's complimentary.
