[quote=Anonymous]My kid at Carson says he hears racist language at school, we don’t ask who is saying it but remind him that is inappropriate and unacceptable. Kids are testing boundaries and repeating what they hear in music and in the media that they watch, a fair amount of that includes racist language. Listen to rap and watch some of the popular you tube channels, you hear it all the time. It is not an easy conversation to have. Yes, these people are paid a lot of money and are using the N word but you shouldn’t for all these reasons. Yes, it feels strange that some people use the N word but you don’t because there is a different context with a black person using it than a white person. Then again, we were having this same conversation in the 80’s as rap music was going more mainstream and more kids were using racist language because they were hearing it in their music and watching the videos on MTV. Not a new problem. [/quote]
