Perhaps he feels he can say it because he's probably been called that?
Personally I feel anyone with black blood and at least some black phenotypes can use it how they want.
By who? That is a White man. No where is he called the N-word. Where is his Black Phenotype? Also, what Black blood? If any, it's less than 15 percent - understand that.
I am just trying to understand why so many of yall are OK with a White man saying the N-word - and being anti-Black. Cause, yall grew up around them? And it's people who live in NY (tri-state) who are OK with this mess.
I'm going to let you know - that shyt don't fly in many places outside of NYC -- and THAT should tell you something.
Hell, I grew up in a predominately Black neighborhood but we had two Arab families on my street, but, guess what - as close as we thought we were at one time. Let them come out they mouth saying the N-word with the "a" or "er" - we fighting.
