So you're saying that it is okay if majority of a race is offended by a term used in an entertainment piece as long as it is entertaining to you and/or a select few who agrees with you? I say hell no, but then again, thats just imo.
And also, entertainment is filled with very offensive material that is filled with the bullshit that everyone loves. Perfect examples: Family Guy, South Park, etc.
That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm simply saying I like my entertainment to be just as realist as life around me. Not some half-hearted watered down bull shit. What would have happened if Ozzy Osbourne said "Ni
gger" on MTVs reality TV show. They would have cut it out of the program. What if contestants cracked queer jokes on Charlie Herschel in survivor. They'd cut it off the air or crucify whoever said it.
Entertainment is not filled with "offensive" material. The only place you can get decent undiluted TV these days is from private television stations (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc...) and BET. Yes, that's right BET. The station where they can say n
igger all day long. While they don't characterize all African Americans on BET they certainly characterize the majority of African American citizens living around me. While I hate the programs, at least African Americans have more "freedom" than every other race out there.
People are just easily offended. For a program targeting general audience. It takes a show that maintains the soul purpose of being politically incorrect to say words like "
nigger", "queer", or other words deemed offensive by the "media".

Neither Family Guy nor South Park are offensive to anyone sane.
The characters of Family guy talk about sex every once in a while, but other than that, it's just jokes about Garry Coleman.
The characters of South Park cuss a good bit, but it's all about current events. Back in the days when South Park was a decent show, it still wasn't very offensive. I remember the best episode they ever had involved Cartman farting a satellite dish.
Oh yeah, nigger.
Wasn't that the first episode...
