I'm quite certain that in '50s USA there were almost no problem saying racist comments and jokes in front of a public audience, but decades later there were. And I guess people from those same '50s were complaining during this change period that they could not express their opinions freely.
- steveeq1 7y agoYou can apply the same reasoning to rappers today, yet there is no public outrage.
- darkwater 7y agoI'd say that the fact that rappers using the N-word are part of the community for whom the word was created as an insult it's crucial enough, wouldn't you? Just like I can talk shit of my family but you can't.
- steveeq1 7y agoYes, but they say a lot of "bad things" and yet don't seem to be subject to the politically correct rules that the rest of us have to abide by. Hell, Jay Z said worse things than anything stallman said. Yet he was CEO of tommy boy records and there was no controversy.
