I know and work with many black people whom use the N word on a daily basis! Now that we as AMERICAN’S have elected the first 25% black man to office—-RACISM is over!!!! I do not care to ever hear about slavery again, the americans I know had no part in that history, so someone please tell Hussain Obama that equal rights are out the window for good!!!!

LOL @ the #$%&er taking the snap from him in his profile picture…wonder what he thinks

I agree it was not smart or even appropriate, but how many things are said about whites being honkeys and such and we just roll over and take it!! Get over all the racism of blacks when whites are equally prejudiced against in many ways!!!! Even hear of the united caucasian anything????

I have to admit that I too have gotten a lot of the “Obama” text messages. I am not sure if anyone in America has yet to either see or hear about them, but I personally feel that it needs to stop. In a matter of days this man will be our president and if we continue to act childish about this, what does that say to the world about our country. I will admit I did not vote for Obama, but he is my president and I will support him because as a US citizen that is our duty.

Make a racist statement = racist.
Think a racist thought = racist.

Think a sexist thought = pervert.

PEOPLE LISTEN I HAVE HEARD ALL KINDS OF THINGS SAID ABOUT HOW SOME AMERICANS ARE AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW THAT OBAMA IS IN OFFICE FROM TERRIOST..WELL IF THERE ARE SOME AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESPECT OBAMA FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT HE IS AND WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. THAN WHAT MAKES ANY OF YOU THINK THAT ANY TERRIOST WILL RESPECT HIM…THE THINGS THAT SOME OF YOU ARE STATING WILL NOT OVERTURN THE ELECTION HE IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT SO TRY AND KEEP THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS OFF THE NET AND AIR WAVES DONT GIVE OTHER COUNTRIES INSITE INTO HOW DIVIDED SOME OF YOU ARE AGAINST PRESIDENT (ELECT)OBAMA..THERE ARE (IN FORREST GUMPS LANGUAGE) A GOZILLION PEOPLE WHO BACKED OBAMA AND PUT HIM IN OFFICE LET US NOT HAVE TO READ OR HEAR FROM THE FEW OF YOU WHO WISH HIM HARM..FREEDOM OF SPEECH DOES NOT AND WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY COMMENT DIRECTED AT HARMING ANY MAN OR WOMAN ELECTED TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THIS LAND..I BELIEVE OBAMA WILL BE ONE OF THE GREATEST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIMES

It also amazes me that one race of people can get away with a lot more than others. For example, if President Elect Obama had a teenagaged pregnant daughter, how would society depict his family? If Sarah Palin’s husband is a member of a group that does not care to be associated with America and wants to see Alaska separated from the rest of the US, why hasn’t that been brought to light? It seems to me that whenever the African American race does something wrong, we are all sterotyped with wrong doers, but when the Anglo race does something wrong, its a random incident and it goes away. We constantly have to prove ourselves or be 20 steps ahead of the Anglo race just because we are black! True? Absolutely! I get tired of people I work with questioning me about the car I drive. “How did you get that”? I respond simply, “I work and deserve it, just like you”!It seems like some Anglos think African Americans don’t deserve to have firsts, instead we should get their leftovers! I recall my dad purchasing a luxury car that he work hard at a legitimate business, but he had to hide the car and couldn’t let his White co-workers see it for fear of being sterotyped as a drug dealer or even losing his job!!! Now that’s a damn shame isn’t it? We need to grow up as a nation and quit all the sterotyping and hatred. I don’t hate anyone but I do HATE the “n” word and I HATE to hear it in music or even being used in my race. We are all humans and none of us are of any pure race! But we have to stop all these generational curses and taught ignorance and get along… and remember our President Elect, did have a white mother. It was some idiots way back when that wrote a law “If there is one drop of black blood in you then you are black”. That means all of our asses are black…So enjoy your black roots and everybody, quit hatin’! Peace!

Because when Blacks use it its in terms of endearment. When Whites use it its in terms of hatred. Black people have always been known to use negative words used against them in history in a positive way. Whether its right or wrong is another story. Whites (including myself) do not have the right to use that term because of the history it carries in terms of how Whites use it. We can’t sit here and wonder why one can use it and another can’t when we know the history behind it. To me its rhetorical. And there is no justifying what that young man said. He was wrong and whether we like it or not. Barack Obama is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Point, Blank, Period…

are you from the south?

I agree. If a black person did it, he wouldn’t get in trouble. And whomever said blacks get in trouble for things they say more than whites, where in the hell have you been? What about Don Imus? And what happened to Naomi Campbell when she called white police officers “f***ing white honkeys”? Absolutely nothing.

he didnt call obama the n word, he called him a “coon”

yall crazy yea what he did was wrong but kicked him off the team no you dont do that its not even football related he was just writing a foward text thats dumb dont kick off get facts right an plus yall dont know the kid not even heard of him!

I recently heard about these comments from my 14 year old daughter today who learned of it from her teacher. Amazing.
Listen, many of us are truly on the right track. Who Obama is as a man and not his ethnic origin or race is the only relevance to what he will do for this country.
Whatever philosophy this young man Buck subscribes to, quite frankly is of no consequence to anyone else but Buck. If we spent half of our time paying attention to our own thoughts and actions and the other part of the time leaving everyone else’s thoughts and actions alone. :CAVEAT unless actions are lawless.
We would ultimately find that the small #^%$ does not even matter.

I personally wish Buck well. I am glad he was honest, at least I now know him to be himself and true to his own belief system and convictions, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It is those who hide behind pretenses, and fake smiles that are much more dangerous to the human race than Buck.
Now here is the real surprise, I am a Black Woman with Black sons, who will grow to be Black men, and I am sure they will experience the word N#$%@ at some point in thier respective lives, Of Course, but do I teach them to be defensive , NO! They have learned at an early age it is not what you are called it is what you answer to that counts.. Good Luck ALL.

richard, thank you for your extremely delusional comment

being a genuine ‘nice guy’ doesn’t stop someone from (openly or not) disliking someone because of their race, creed or colour. People who STILL feel like that in this day and age are worthless idiots. Worse even, than those who kill in the name of whatever religion.

Case in point: if the people who feel sore about having a black president bothered to be a little less worthless and get off their hate-filled asses to vote, they wouldn’t be trolling the web complaining that their president is black. Worthless idiots.

The only thing that bothers me about the man is the fact that every time I heard about him on the news the first few sentences invariably included the phrase “first black president” – personally I’m more concerned that he’s capable of doing the job, and deserves the position on that merit alone – the colour of his skin should be the last thing on peoples minds. Not some misguided feelings of Positive Discrimination.

I wish him luck.

“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.

The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

For an American citizen to vote as a German-American, an Irish-American, or an English-American, is to be a traitor to American institutions; and those hyphenated Americans who terrorize American politicians by threats of the foreign vote are engaged in treason to the American Republic.”

Hitler? He said that it isn’t good for American politics to vote as a “[foreign]-american” (taking into account [foreign] constituencies and interests), as opposed to voting simply as an “american” (taking into account what is best for the american nation, period). Now, I’m not saying he was right, or wrong, or that people shouldn’t take pride in where they come from; however, I think there is virtue to the point that the american democratic/political system works best when it is working of, by, and for the people OF AMERICA, as opposed to subdivided groups. They is a place for everyone at the american table, but we should all be at ONE table, as opposed to a whole bunch of different, uniformly catergozied, homogenous tables trying to co-exist in the same room.

Dummy.

Buck Burnette as a leader of the Longhorns and his horrific quote is proof of the intelligence and maturity level of a University of Texas football player or fan. I knew not to use the “N” word as a 5-year old. In addition to getting booted off the team, he should have been booted out of school. What is he doing there anyway? Give him a banjo and rocking chair, so he can lead his UT in playing their new school fight song, “Dueling Banjos”…
