"Now steps in actor Taye Diggs, who has his own opinion about the situation and about Hasselbeck. Diggs says Hasselbeck "doesn’t understand, and, no offense — I don’t think any white person has the right to tell a black person or to even weigh in on subject matter such as that. They don’t know what it’s like to be called that word; they don’t know what it’s like to be black.” Diggs continued, “They can have an opinion, but… don’t take a word that you created and called me for many, many years, and then me being in my position, have the strength to change what it means in my own culture. Don’t try to take it back now. Now it’s ours. Leave it alone.”" Taye Diggs said this and I agree with him, not only because he is fiooonneee but because he has a point…

The Word Nigger has caused black people so much pain! We didn’t even count as a full human-being in the white mans eyes. To try and reclaim nigger as ours is ridiculous! I don’t want it! I want it to be seen as the disgusting word it is! I had a different view on this issue until I went to a predominately white institution and they felt they could say it because we did. They word to them wasn’t as “bad” because black people “reclaimed” it! Now isn’t that the most stupid shit you have ever heard? We are being hypocritical when asking another ethnic group not to say it but we do. I was so disappointed with Sherri and Whoopi. As a black woman, I didn’t feel represented in that argument. How is it that a white Republican woman express more of how I felt than the two African-American women on the show? The only time I agreed with Whoopi was when she expressed how we do live in different worlds but she spoke as if we couldn’t progress, that the color lines could never be invisible and that was the most disheartening part. The reason black people are still so far behind is because we don’t have unity! We are always on different pages. We really need to get our shit together or we will get ran over for many more generations to come. For the first time in history I actually agree with Elizabeth Hazelback!

And thats not to completely erase and forget about the pain, blood, sweat and tears that is historically behind the word but realistically WE have changed the face of the word today. Some choice to abolish it, i havent just yet. ::story time:: i was havin a conversation in my gym at manhattanville and to be honest i cant even remember what it was about but i swear i most of been slingin "nigga" around all over the place bc a familiar face (but not someone i talk to on the regular basis) walked up to me and handed me a card and walked away. i didnt even pay attention right then until my friends were all so damn anxious that i flipped it over. on the card it had a big N with a red slash in front of it..its called the educate card and it advised me not to throw it away but pass it along BUT only after i've stopped using it.on the back of the card it gives the definition of the term..im workin on it..i thin everyone should. whether u abolish it or be more sensitive when usin it rememberin that regardless of the turn that it has taken, theree still is a spirit of hate that we release! This a process we're all takin togetha. and as for j.jackson hes just like u and me. got caught up in 'politicking' and lost sight of who he was/is. im no longer a support but i do realize that hes human. just sucks to see him in this light. lets worry bout our growth and development as a whole and feed him to the sharks ta-ta i agree with dr. quandary…the “man” has nothing to do with the turn that the “n” word has been taken, whether it be said, “nigga” or “nigger”.

I think that the bigger issue here though, more so than the use of the N word, is Jesse Jackson's lack of responsibility and incompetence in what could, and will probably be the most important election of our generation. For Jackson to even consider making such an immature comment, in any context, shows a lack of charater and true misunderstanding of what is truly at stake. Obama's election to the presidency would provide powerful symbolism in changing the face of America to the international community, but also give millions of African-Americans,the courage and inspiration to achieve greatness. This is something the Black community is in dire need of in the face of high prison rates, low college attendance, and single parent households. By pandering to the media, in what seems motivated by either jealousy or being overshadowed by a younger colleague, Jesse is truly MISSING THE POINT, and needs to wake-up. He can not truly lead Black people and promote black interests, without realizing that at this point he needs to fall back. C'mon Jesse... My 2 cents.
