You know, I was born and raised in America and I've never had a problem just speaking my mind. My friends and I got into religious debates all of the time but they were always educational. Unfortunately, the hardest people to deal with were other Muslims! It was terrible. They were always insulting others rather than teaching them. For the most part, my friends are Christian or Aethiest. We always talked about each other's religious views and it was never an issue. Now, speak to another Muslim about Islam or just simply speak your mind and it's all over. You've become too outspoken.
Now, about what Don Imus and Michael Richards both said...
I'm part African American so to hear stuff like what they said was really insulting and demeaning to say the least. "Nappy headed hoes" is no way to refer to young African American females. They already have a hard time fitting into society for many reasons. They don't need people like Don Imus saying stuff like that.
Michael Richards went too far with the "nigger" statement. Actually, the men in the crowd that he was yelling at were really nice and just walked away from the situation. I would have prayed to Allah and then went into battle mode with that man. He wouldn't like it if one of us called him a "cracker" or "wonder bread". Trust me, I know. I've grown up around all different races and none of them like to have racist slurs thrown in their face.
