Ponderences on my mind!!!

Wow, it's really difficult to begin this blog, and I don't know why. I guess I just have to figure out some tactful way to say what I have to say, so why don't I just say it! Are people just that numb to racial slurs and terms of objectification now? I went to a part last night and I heard a lot of non-African-American people addressing each other as "my n$gga." What the hell? Every time I hear some one say that, in my mind I'm thinking, "Hey, you nor he/she is Black. What in the f@#$ are you talking about?!?!" But then again, do I wanna claim that word? Why has that term become so neutral amongst society today? It's easy to blame it on hip-hop culture as it's all over the place there, but damn. I have no problem with sharing culture and whatnot, but when it comes to using racial slurs as a term of endearment, that's where I gotta draw the line. When I hear people say the "n word" I always give them my patented "what the F$%^ are you doing/saying" smirk and stare, and then it registers I guess, and they change their tone. The last time I was in Las Vegas, I was at a club where they were playing 2-Pac's "How Do You Want It." One of the lines is "growin up as a n@gga in the cash game, livin in a fast lane." Why were fools on the dance floor saying that line? I gave this one dude "the look" and he changed the word to "brotha." It shouldn't have taken my death stare to do that.
All night at this party they were playing some cool hip-hop music, but then they played the Luke booty music -- which is cool, but yet again caused me to question things. The dj played "She Ain't Nutin But a Hoochie Mama." The intro line is "Big booty hoes, hop wit it." In my mind, I was thinking, "Ain't no big booty hoes here." Then I had to think again. Is that to say that only Black women are big booty hoes? These things seem so easy to articulate, but in terms of getting other people to understand the severity of these issues, that's when you run into the problem. What are we gonna do? Do a big ass public service announcement that is simulcast on all stations at 8:00pm every day for a month saying that you all must have sensitivity when embracing other cultures. That you cannot use terms loosely, etc. Although it's wishful thinking, honestly it's not gonna happen. I guess we have to go to plan B... when I think of it.
