it, too
some context: a police officer posted a picture on facebook (years before he joined the police force) that showed a picture of a black person he was friends with and had the caption "Go night night [n-word]. Go night night" a fellow (black officer) saw the post and complained to the white officer who posted it and the white officer took it down the black police officer union filed a formal complaint after this with the police chief asking for the white officer's dismissal and the white officer's lawyer responded by showing that the black officer who had originally complained also regularly used the n-word on social media in the years before he was an officer: "Both of these were done when both individuals were younger," Newcomb wrote. "If it is conduct unbecoming for one, it would be conduct unbecoming for the other." the police fired both the white guy and the black guy fair? unfair? stupid? thoughts? --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. ...

I think black people are allowed to say that word because they're "reclaiming" it. :v Like how homos can call each other the f word.
