Double standards exist all around us. One of the most significant examples of right for one and wrong for another is the use of the “N” word. Nobody knows this better than the recently let go executive at Netflix. He used it in a context that would be designed to prevent is derogatory use. The problem is that he may have gotten away with it if he had said it just once. However, he decided to use the term a second team just weeks later. This proved to be too much, and he was recently ousted. “His descriptive use of the N-word on at least two occasions at work showed unacceptably low racial awareness and sensitivity,” the note to all staff read.” The question posed is should the word be used by anyone in any context with out consequence? I say no. Even a rap star can make his or her point without the reference. I think it is safe to say that former Netflix Executive Jonathan Friedland would agree.
