so your saying blacks and whites should have two separate languages? you are a bloody idiot. There is only one english language. Your comment is just as racist as the word itself. Think about it.

She should have immediately called a press conference condemning the use of the “N” word, then formed an anti “N” word coalition complete with awareness bracelets (black of course) and a rally. With the Democratic leadership we have in place, I have no doubt that we can finally constitutionally ban the use of the letter “N” and finally solve this “N” word problem!

There are more white people who get upset by the use of this word than black people. I don’t like the word so I don’t personally use it, but I don’t care if white people say it. It’s when the use the more derogatory “nigger” that I, and majority of blacks have a problem with because it is used in a hateful, racist way.

grow up , why r u sad u can’t use the n word? it’s friggin disgusting to hear this argument…why do u think its ok for whites to use this word? don’t u understand that blacks were brutally beaten and raped by your ancestors and using that word is going to bring back a sad history. learn from the past . if blacks can’t call each other n word then it makes it a word only white slavemasters can use that’s why blacks say it to each other.

oh god here comes some white ppl who are gonna get angry because they can’t use the n word but blacks can… I hate that argument…. hey I’m not black but this is what I think . whites brought black kids women and men on a boat
sold them and raped some and used them for their own advancement /help whatever. during tht time they called them the n word, so are u guys really sad that u r not able to use the n word again? really?! that’s your big complaint in your life,? your life must be damn near perfect if that’s what your worried about. I don’t think whites shd call blacks the n word and yes it’s fine if blacks want to call each other the n word because that’s a human beings way of dealing with the fact that their ancestry was raped beaten and sold., get over it white ppl, your complaints are very silly and minor.

omg a white woman said the “n word”?!?!? where’s the “outrage” when a black guy refers to another black guy as the “n word”? better yet when he’s calling black women bitches and hoes? plus, if the lady is so outraged, where’s the tweet to Lisa Lampanelli? Who, btw, says it all the time.

“I’m pretty sure it was politically correct white people who were more offended over the usage of the word than black people.” THIS! You know its true.

Honestly if black people do not want white people to use the word, then they need to stop referring to each other as the word. See what I did there? better skirt around using word as a word, utterly ridiculous. I can see the problem if this women had called a black person the word but she was clearly using the word to refer to a white female. Just so stupid, makes me so glad that I live in country where there has actually been some movement to mend fences.

Yes, but her apology clearly indicates that pressure she is under becouse of the criticism.
Normaly, she would not feel the need to comment on that, to explain or apologise.
And it was not even her who used the N- word.
But especially becouse of her silence, she become criticised.
And she caved!
I would not!
If her conscious is clean and clear, she should not apologise for something she did not even do, because she is afraid that certain people may take a stand against her.
I call that bullying!
On one hand we have equal rights and freedom of speech but we still accepting fact of right and rightest!
You should not loose your brain and logic thinking just because you are under constant pressure someone will dislike you.
She did not apologised because she felt she need to, but because she knew she has to, she was affraid that if she did not, it could create some problems.
I find that disgusting!
Not her, but the fact that this is reality.

I’m pretty sure it was politically correct white people who were more offended over the usage of the word than black people. There’s a big difference between using the word “nigga” and “nigger” which holds much more power behind it.

Am I the only one who would have found it hilarious if Dunham had responded by only saying “nigga please”?

maybe when all those shitty artists stop popularising the N word in their music, people will stop using it. Blame Jzee, auto tune brown and Kaki west.

Glad Lena did not reply with Yiddish n-word !!

I don’t think she apologized for the use of the word. I read it as her apologizing for the feelings it stirred up.

You are so right.

WTH? Why is she apologising?!
Are black people apologising every time they use that?!
This world is just topsy turvy crazy!
