Charlie Sheen Sorry for N-Word - Racist Celebrity Remark No. 237

1. Wow. When a belligerent girlfriend breaks up with me (and I have), I just ignore their messages and get to living life. Maybe pick up a new girlfriend. I wouldn't leave an unspeakably scathing message on their answering machine, not to mention one that forgets the wife's race (what the heck!!!), and uses the slur to diss other people.

But I guess it takes different strokes to move the world. Huh, Charlie?

2. Ya know Charlie Shern and Clint Eastwood are all at Warner Bros studio in Burbank. Last Year some black workers say they were called the "N" word by executives at Warner Bros. I see a pattern

3. Who cares. Are we really suprised that white dude used the word Nigger? I'm Black and if you were to record some of my private voicemails and conversations you would catch some explict analysis and rage too. I'm just so beyond getting outraged when a white dude uses the word Nigger. But, voice mail from 3 years ago when him and his wife were going through a tuff and bitter relationship. I'm not going to hold him accountable for that unless EVERYBODY tapes and releases all of their viocemails and private conversations.

5. i think he might have said the the n word to her because maybe she was acting igornant at the time. not trying to make it seem like it's right. just maybe he was using the word for what it meant.

6. Denise Richards is a beautiful "She Devil" that could have any black man she desires. She was the star of "Undercover Brother" a few years back. Was the use of the "N-word" an angry response to her sexual curiosity? This woman played her role to the fullest in "Wild Things" with Nev Campbell. Was the "N-word" Charlie's way of "Screaming" at a real "Undercover Brother?" Yes, I would like to be her friend. Charlie gets a pass on this improper use because it was in the heat of passion with a girl that has a history of doing "Freaky Thangs." The first slip is free because she's beautiful and it's got to hurt. Charlie ain't doing so bad now is he? Clearly, he has moved on quite nicely. How would you respond to a peice of meat that looked like "Two and a half men?" Is this "JoJo" from Gretawire?

7. But why would he call her the "N" word when they were fighting about the kids? He had to have called her a "N" lover. I am trying to figure out in what context could he have used that word and the media reports arent releasing the tape (he is on the #1 show in the US so they cover for white racist)-but from the complaints by 2 black workers at Warner Bros studio (where Clint Eastwoon and Charlie Sheen) both film and have offices-it appears that there are some racial problems in Hollywood with these people. Ya know everyone talked about Isiah Washington uses the homosexual slur in a conversation that didnt even involve the gay actor but I find it funny that many in Hollywood do not even use the term "black" or "African America" they just say "N*gg*r" and this is normal!

10. The N word doesn't bother or worry me any.... The N word means of ignorance not skin color.

11. No pass for Charlie Sheen, he clearly meant to demean the wife, and his choice of words means he believes the n-word has power to demean.

I, too, have been plenty angry at people throughout my life. Never once did it occur to me to use the n-word to attack them. Why would it?

12. JoJo,
You will be happy to hear that after all the criticism Clint Eastwood is making a new movie "The Brothers of Iwo Jima" in which all the brave men who raise the flag are black. Whites will be playing the role of the Japanese so they will be easier to hate.

13. Hi Pappy. Do you mean at all or in public? Iim sure there are plenty of black dudes I can show you who hasn't used that word.

14. This word is never far off the minds of all white people so dont be surprise when its the first word out of their mouth.

15. Let me see if I understand some of ya'll correctly;
the man was married to this woman, had kids with this
woman and in a fit rage, called her the "N" word so
now he's a racist? C'mon, stop playing! How many of ya'll in a fit of rage, feeling betrayed, hurt, angry, etc. didn't lash out at your other half with everything in the book you could think of?
The objective in these cases is to inflict the same hurt, anger and betrayal you feel at the moment - by any means necessary. In his case, he used
the "N" word. I don't condone what he said - I don't
condone no man disrespecting a woman - and certainly
not a wife who bore his kids. But I understand where
it came from, and it didn't stem from racism. re-read
the e-mail. He was so pissed, he didn't know what to say. He was scrambling, saying everything he could think of trying to inflict the same pain he felt. If you wannna jump up and down about racist attacks, look around...look around, there happening everyday all around you right in front of your face! Maybe that's the problem. Up close and personal you can't
see it - or choose not to. Maybe you waiting on an Al Sharpton or somebody to come handle it. Well, I got a news flash for you; there's room at the cross for us
all. And until we as a people a willing to take that
"walk to calvary" and be persecuted by those you fight against,critcized by those you fighting for, continually told you ain't doing enough when you put your whole life on the line to do what it is you do -
then it is what it is! And that's how it's gonna be,until we get it together. So if the "N" word got you all twisted, hold on a minute. You ain't seen nothing yet.
