[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would he invite a white fan onstage to rap with him and then ridicule her and encourage the crowd to do so because his lyrics contain the N word? 
These are his words. 
He wrote them, he invited her to sing them. Was this an intentional publicity stunt? 
When will the use of this word be allowed to end? [/quote]

I didn't see the video but I saw a really great explanation for why white people shouldn't use the n-word. If I can find it I'll post. To be honest it smacks of entitlement that white people think they should be able to use that particular word just because it's in the lyrics to songs.

I don't call someone else's spouse, "honey" or "sweetie" or "baby" - it's a similar thing with the n-word. I don't understand why white people want to say it so badly. It's amusing honestly.[/quote]

Oh spare me. If honey or sweetie or baby is in a song you’re singing along to, you and I both know you sing the word. Kendrick should have NEVER pulled a white girl onstage for this song if her singing HIS lyrics would piss me him. 
Kendrick is a tool.[/quote]

But those words aren't fraught the same way as the n-word and haven't been primarily used by whites as a tool of maintaining supremacy.

I think the PP above was referring to this explanation by Ice Cube to Bill Maher about why white people shouldn't use it:
