I was reading blogs when i noticed something particullully fishy with Aleah's post. There seemed to be some sort of debate going on about whether certain people should be able to say the N word. Aleah said that white people cant say that word because it is degrading. She saays that it is Okay for black people to say it because i is like saying whats up dude. i do not completely understand wwhy this is okay because i dont think it should be alowwed for anyone to say it. I was also there during their discussionn and Aleah said hat a certain person couldnt say it because he was white. I think that in itslef is racist because of the color of skin he isnt allowed to say a word. i also understand where Aleah is coming from. She says that the word is a racial slur and it should not be said by white people.
In my opinion I don't think that anyone should be able to say it because for so long all it was used for was to put people down. using put downs are wrong because the can seriously hurt a person. I have had to deal with many put downs in my life and they are not easy.
