FROM MICHAEL WILBON, (not me)
Anybody who doubts McNabb needs only to walk around one of the upper-concourse areas of Lincoln Financial Field late in a game when, as several white friends have told me, the frequent use of the word "......" preceding McNabb's name during a losing performance is so casual it sickens them. Rex Grossman, just to name one white quarterback who has to deal with daily criticism, doesn't have to be on the wrong end of that kind of hateful venom, even though he'll never be half the quarterback McNabb has been.

Well this is a little more than criticism isn't it? Screaming racial slurs during a game is just plain ignorant. But being a quarterback I would just think criticism would come with the territory.

It's kind of hard to consider the word "......" a racial slur anymore. African Americans refer to themself by that all the time. Refering to one another by a known racial slur = ignorant.

Well many would disagree - coming out of some ignorant rednecks mouth it is a racial slur. I think any self respecting African American would tell you that they don't appreciate some ignorant ghetto talking fool throwing about the "n" word.

......, ..... same thing. If you went up to a black person and called them a ..... I'm sure nothing would happen right wise one? and you missed the point completly. Give yourself a pat on the back. Thanks for the neg rep. I'm not sure how I am an idiot by pointing out that some african americans use a racial slure towards each other and how ignorant that is.

I agree. Coming from the wrong person sure it's a slure. And you right, it's wrong to assume that all african americans have that "ghetto" or "gansta" mentality. But there are a lot out there that do. And those are the ones using a dirogitory term so freely towards each other.
