There is no proper context to say the N-word. No race (including black people) should use the N word. People lost that their lives for equality were called that word in hatred, and you think its ok use it? I dont think it is. Just my opinion!Originally Posted by jhobson5

What about if its a song title, such as "_____ in Paris"?
You certainly wouldn't want me to disrespect the piece of music, which is art mind you, by calling it another title?
As the artist (Kanye or Jay), it certainly is in their view, wrong to call their artwork by another name, also disrespectful. I wouldn't call something that Michelangelo painted or Rodin sculpted by another name.
Any form of artwork has a purpose and the title serves it. It is how the artist intended it. You can't go around changing someones art to fit your own view of whats "okay" and "not okay" in the norms of society. Art is above that.
