    True I am just wondering if I can tell my son that it is appropriate for him to now use the term outside the 'hood cause Whoopi made it permissible now?? :confused: :confused: :rolleyes:

    No Help please tell your son not to use the word even though whoopi said it was OK. I have two white friends and ALL of my other friends are black. My black friends say I am allowed to use the N word since I have a "hood pass" although I have never received an official document. Even though my black friends consider me black (which clearly I am not) I would Never use that word. Especially since my friends don't know every black person in the world to let them know "Hey this cracker is ok he has a Hood pass he can say the N word" It is a double standard but is an @$$whooping really worth it?

    I agree I just found it totally (absurb? Odd? Ironic?:confused: ) about who took what sides in that *debate*
    My son has a hood pass too even 'adopted' by two of the neighbors.

    HMMMMMM We will have to think of a good non racist name. I am an oakland raiders fan and someone nicknamed our stadium the black hole now we have to find a new nick name. I always though it was cause almost everyone in there had on a black shirt but I guess I was wrong we were being racist.
