[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1163353, member: 12570"] This has been discussed many times: When a black uses the "n" word with another black man it has a totally different meaning than when a white man uses it to describe a black man. In order for the white person to be offended by the lyrics on one of those CD's they would first have to purchase it. Many of those CD's have advisory labels on them warning about the language contained therein. When you knowingly purchase something that may be offensive you waive any and all rights to complain after the fact. One of my favorite CD's was Eddie Murphy: Delirious. It is one of the most vulgar and profane yet LMAO CD's I have ever listened to. The kids and I love the "You Ain't Got No Ice Cream" song. It is funny as hell but if you actually listen to the words it is one of the racist songs you may ever hear. When I was college I liked Frank Zappa. Later on in life I liked Eminem. Yes, I knew both of them had "potty mouths" before I bought and/or listened to their music. What right would I have had to complain to their respective record labels about the content of their songs when I knew full well going in that the content was going to be offensive in nature. Walmart and Target are doing what any mega-retailer would do----they are overreacting. [/QUOTE]
