\\\\\ A white comedian runs the risk of being offensive in using it, but it is possible that he could use it without being offensive at all, and not give offence.\\
Yes! yes! I understand that.....but a black comic DID cause offense and i am wondering, as my posts have implied, whether the outcome of a white comedian to a black audience would have the same outcome (although we do not know the outcome of this episode, but i bet a bottom dollar that there will be no repercussions) as the outcome of our white comedian's use of the term.
What say you?
