		<description>get over it. who the fuck cares.  the only reason the &quot;N&quot; word keeps cominng up is shit like this.  why do i(being white) have to be reminded of how white assholes a fucking century ago had black slaves.  if the black folk really wanted to get rid of this word, they would quit fucking saying it themselves.  good job perpetuating the racism that everyone else is trying to end</description>

		<description>As far as the N word is concerned, it is all about the context of the word or any word. I think that since Afro Americans seem to have taken ownership over that word, everyone other than Afro Americans seems offended because they cannot say it. (Well they can but just not in front of me.) This is the land of free speech.</description>

		<description>Is it that an album is being titled Nigger?  What about &quot;shake yo ass hoe&quot;, &quot;bend over, show me what you working with&quot;?  Women today are so much loose puppets, that they have no sence of morals or boundaries.

When someone use such derogatory word such as Nigger instead of Nigga, it alerts people.  Nas was always positive.  Wondering what&#039;s up this time.

By the way, do you think a woman has lost her soul if she sticks a baseball bat up her ass?  Telling you, she is just thrown away.  Wake up!!!  (but she was white though).</description>

		<description>Firstly, I don&#039;t like the word being used at all. I understand why our people use it &amp; i&#039;m not nearly the dude to challenge whether we should or shouldn&#039;t use it... the problem with Nas using it as a title is we will have lots of non black folk asking for &amp; using the title. All blacks get aggy when someone who is not black uses the word... I got images of young white dudes who are genuinely into HipHop &amp; having to ask over the counter for the new Nas album &#039;n@#ga&#039;... how we supposed to react in a shop if we hear that? Damn near start a riot up in HMV!!
Fact: Nas {or any emcee for that matter} will not take the emphasis of that word away... Even if the album is brilliant, thought provoking &amp; a damn near master piece. cos the people who need to know the truth about that word &amp; why NOT to use it would not be listening to a Nas album!
I think he&#039;s lost it a lot, but he&#039;s still a better emcee than most of the rubbish pumping thru the airwaves masquerading as real HipHop. IMO i think it&#039;s a an ignorant move to use that word as an album name. so he better make sure he brings it!! 
Stay Blessed

Subject:  	 Nov. 2, 2007 Black Spending Blackout Calling Attention To White Hate
Crimes Across The Nation
--&gt;

               

Good Morning,
Many people marched in Jena, LA last month in support of the 6 young men unjustly charged with attempted murder for a school yard 
fight. There are many situations all over the nation that screams injustice and unfair treatment of people in this country. There is the woman in West Virginia who was raped and tortured for days with barely any national coverage. They called her the N word but as of this writing, they still had not confirmed they are treating this as a hate crime. We all know the young groom in NYC who was murdered by the NYPD on the eve of his wedding. There is the teenage girl in Texas who was
sentenced to jail time for an altercation with a school official. How about the teenage girl who was sprayed with mace for missing curfew. You can see her in the video restrained by a police officer twice her size. She was in handcuffs when she was sprayed. Maybe you heard of the California girl who had her arm broken by a school security official when she refused to pick up a piece of cake from the floor. It was filmed by a school mate and is all over You Tube. You may have heard of the young man in Georgia who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for having consensual sex with a young girl. He was 17, she was 15. There was also the young brother in Florida who died in the custody of the state when he was admitted to their boot camp. They said he had diabetes but they couldn&#039;t explain his battered body. All of these stories happened within the last year or two.

 Those are just a few instances where people in this country have been treated unfairly, while 4 young men in Raleigh, NC sue the state for 10 million dollars each because they were &quot;falsely&quot; accused of rape. There are people who spend YEARS in prison and are exonerated that don&#039;t get nearly that much coin. By the way, who else is tired of the Princess Diana wrongful death inquiry? I mean, come on, it&#039;s very sad how she died but does her death need to be the top news story 10 years and 2
months after her death? 

On Friday, November 2, 2007, Warren Ballentine, Reverend Al Sharpton and other civil rights leaders are calling for a national boycott. Black people alone spend 2 billion dollars a day in the United
States and we are only approximately 12% of the population. TWO billion dollars a day, lining the pockets of companies that have shown no interest in our interests. We ARE living in the new civil rights
movement. We cannot allow the march in Jena to be only an event. It MUST be a movement. In the 1950s, the bus boycott was only supposed to be for
a few days or weeks. It ended up being over a year. The goal was for fair treatment and bus integration. Our parents and grandparents sacrificed and showed that with faith and strength, they could show
corporate America the power of the community and demanded fair treatment. As we know, those buses were integrated. This is not about color. This is about class. The middle class and poor people in this country are not treated as the Declaration of Independance says we should be treated. It states that &quot;all men are created equal&quot;. Clearly the governing class of the United States disagrees with their document.

Join us on Friday, November 2, 2007 and don&#039;t spend ANY money. If you have to shop, do it the day before or the day after. If you need gas, get it the day before or the day after. We have to join together as a community. You may be thinking, it&#039;s only one day, what difference will it make? I had the same thought at first, but just think about it. If we all save our money that day, it WILL make a difference. That day may become a weekend. That weekend may become a week and that week a month. As we showed in the 1950s, we can make a difference if we do this together. If you can pass the many dumb jokes and forwards we all get, you most certainly can pass this important email to all your friends and
family.

 Thank you
