I was trying to explain that anyone from outside the community is really getting into very deep trouble.

K, sorry for misunderstanding. It just stinks to see members from a certain race slurring words like 'nigg*r' and it's OK, but if someone from outside that race says the words, that particular race is rushing to proclaim the other person as a racist. It's so much easier just avoiding the term all together. It's a crying shame we can't all just get along and accept one another for the people that we are instead of the color of the skin.
