| Cau, rant all you want. These social rules are getting ridiculous! People over-reacted when they realized there was child abuse by turning in every child who had a bruise to Child Protective Services. We have heard many Black celebrity use the N word so many times with no public complaints. But, when 1 White person uses it, it is a big deal!!! There seems to be 2 standards.
As far as Duane Chapman, although I don't think he should use that word, he was on a private phone conversation in his home. If a Black celebrity's son just got out of prison and was hanging out with a White woman who was doing drugs, being a bad influence, and threatening his wife, he would probably call her a few racial slurs amongst other things.
Another gripe that I have is that we have Black organizations, Indian organizations, Hispanic organizations, and so on that receive government grants for college. But, there are no Irish organizations, White organizations, and so on. Again, a double standard. I think that as a society, we hear the media complain that we need to reduce hate crimes and racism. But, the very fact that we focus on race creates racism. We should be helping those who are in need, regardless or their race.
I also have a problem with the media playing that audio of Dog the Bounty Hunter's private conversation that was illegally taped and condenming him yet they over look those celebritites who make racial slurs when they know they are being filmed or taped.
Okay, I will get off my soapbox.
