[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 35500, member: 59"] Fran I think a lot of it comes from society accepting it. Music lyrics is one thing but there is a whole generation out there who are growing up hearing those terms in everyday language among their peers. And it's up to all of us/them to say it's not acceptable. I am nto suggesting censorship, I'm suggesting we all do what was done in this case, withdraw our support, both monetarily and socially. So the next time one of our kids hears their peers saying the word "ho" or "n" they should have the courage to call them on it. That just isn't done now because those terms are all over every facet of their lives, from tv to movies to music to myspace to everyday getto talk so prevalent in today's youth culture.
