Riley Cooper situation.

[Obey]

Supposedly, a wide receiver from the Eagles: Riley Cooper got caught on video saying the word: ''Nigger.'' Now there's this HUGE out-break of media following this. Now I'm not racist whatsoever, but this is really grinding my gears. I don't understand the double standards of this word. Lil Wayne rhymes the word ''nigga'' with every single word out there, but that's okay? The word ''nigger'' would be offensive to people of slave descent, am I right? Considering that's where the word started. So wouldn't it be offensive for African American's of that descent no matter what the race is that said it? It's still using a word used as an insult to their own hard times in life.. So what I'm trying to say here is: Why is it okay for some to say it, and other's cannot? Racism is only kept around when stuff like this happens. Why can Dave Chappelle walk on stage and bash any race he wants, but that's acceptable? Why is racism only focused around one race? I feel like racism should've died a hundred years ago.. A word shouldn't offend someone so much, brush it off, move on. If people just brush it off rather than starting a whole out-rage the word would lose it's importance and fade away.. Throw some feedback, maybe I'm seeing this wrong.
