Paula Deen, the Rap Game, and My Humble Opinion

If the American public is going to persecute Paula Deen for saying the n-word, then I think the only rightful thing to do is to also persecute the endless number of rappers who also use the word. I don't know what ever made that word acceptable for black people to say. I don't know how it ever became a compliment r nickname amongst them, but I think it should stop. As Africans, they should honestly know better. they should know the stigma associated with that word and know that to use it they way they use it today is wrong. Thank you, and good day.
