In an interview with NBC's Jamie Gangel, rapper 50-Cent defends his constant use of the N-word.
Gangel: You use the N-word constantly.50 Cent: Oh, see, but that � that is not �
Gangel: That makes parents crazy. I'd kill my kids �
50 Cent: Oh, if they said that.
Gangel: If that ever came out of their mouths.
50 Cent: Well, I understand that, 'cause your culture is different. Like when I'm saying that it isn't � I'm not using that as a racial slur. You know, in � in the neighborhood, they'll say, �What's up? That's my n-----. Yo, come here.� They're not offended by it when you say that. You just � it's just the slang that we use where we're from.
Gangel: Isn't it demeaning to use that slang?
50 Cent: No, I � it depends on the actual person and how they actually using it.

Yes, you see, I am a mutant.
But you can't actually call me a mutant unless you also self-identify as a mutant.
Otherwise it's a slur.
Got it?

Methinks the next person he uses the N-word on or calls "b*tch" should slap him silly**.
**I try to avoid profanity whenever possible.
Posted by: Lornkanaga at November 10, 2005 12:30 PMWhy do you delete it out?
Instead of "That's my n-----. " why don't you right
"nigger".
We are grownups.
PS I meant "write" instead of "right".
Sorry about that. I am at work and rushing.
I was quoting the article. They deleted it out, not me. Typically, I only censor stuff that trips firewalls... (like the correct spelling of the word: Pr0n)

Yes, and Canola got the same treatment awhile back. Guess the PC crowd couldn't handle a plant called rapeseed. Ok, its actually a low acid variant, but the two plants are more closely related than pot and hemp.
50 cent is a nickel fool, but millions of his supporters share the exact same viewpoint. Double standards. Nope, sorry, that dog don't hunt.
