Why do the black music artists tend to use the n-word so often?

I've seen black rappers and r&b singers use the word "******" or n-word in their songs so much these days. This word is racial and derogatory so why do they use the word among themeselves and call eachother by that name? Why do the blacks not feel the same discrimination when white person uses the same word on them?There are many black people that find the contempt for women, liberal use of ******, and lack of ethics (not just hate whitey and cops, but the rampant drug use for instance) a problem.

Much like having to listen to Nazi rock if you're white. They might sing "for you" but that doesn't mean you accept it.

It's frequent use sadly hasn't lessened anything. Imus calls some black basketball girls ho's and suddenly it's a shitfest. Like, hello? Do they not live on the same planet as me? How many times has Snoop, Dre, 50 Cent, etc called them that? Do they suddenly have amnesia and forget that these rappers are on the radio ALL THE TIME? And yet they still bump that **** and they get to make millions off of pure misogyny and selfishness.

It's pure hypocrisy.

Edit: Big shocker, yahoo blocks it. Maybe it's because it somehow knows I'm white.I think that by using the "n-word" black artists have brought that word in to the mainstream and now no one can complain when it is used by other races.
