• 61. "This word has been painful and hurtful for many years to the black race, and if this is how they choose to heal from it, why do you care??" "40 years of what you call "progress" does not erase hundreds of years of torture" This is a load of cra$ You people make a fuss when a WHITE person uses this word but you go about saying it because you all seem to think you own that word. I really would LOVE if you all would make up your mind. ALSO you we're not a slave so how did you endure 100's of years of TORTURE??? Come on. Man I have 4 kids and I get messed with over that. My husband is Dutch and I get messed with for that. (yes he could not get a job BECAUSE of him being dutch) The BIG difference is other races don't dwell in the past and whine like babies. To me I really believe African people TRY and cause trouble!!! JUST GET OVER IT!

• 62. Absolutely love TAFKAP! - the artist formerly know as. Have always loved Prince. If I was his small size, I'd wear delicious ass suits and high heel boots, too. And shake my fine behind, too. Quit hating on Prince. Y'all some haters. But I bet y'all love that dopefiend Amy Winehouse, tho'. She is a disgrace to the female race. I can't believe black people like Amy Winehouse and buy her records when other more talented beautiful black female singers deserve far more accolades than that dope fiend crackhead is getting. I always thought black peoples' intelligence level was low to non-existent. I have proof of this now that black people seem to support Nas and Kelis'choice to don such ridiculous garb. I bet if a white man called 'em niggers they'd be ready to fight...

• 64. Those ?$#@! shirts are just tacky. And why would you wear "promotional" clothing to the grammys? tactless and tasteless. And I agree get over the black pity party you don't see any other race doing it and everybody has been persecuted in one way or another.. Everyone on here has probably suffered one injustice or another because of race, religion, sex etc. They just don't use it as their "excuse". Be Stronger than that.

• 69. The shirts that Nas and his wife are wearing are to promote his new album, titled N@!#$%$. Nas is a powerful artist who has reached a lot of people through his music. I do not agree with his choice to wear these shirts to a black-tie event, but I think that people should save their judgements. This word has been painful and hurtful for many years to the black race, and if this is how they choose to heal from it, why do you care?? If you are not black living in this country, you don't know anything about what they have gone through and continue to go through. 40 years of what you call "progress" does not erase hundreds of years of torture. If you really want to "research", live in America as a black man or woman trying to acheive goals and have something. Times have not changed as much as you think. Leave Nas alone. He has the right to express himself however he chooses. Until you have been called a N#%#%#$, you will never understand.

• 70. Kelis and Nas on a serious level, upset me very much. I as a caucasian american have worked for many years in sociology and trying to promote tolerance and unity between races- Through my studies I am learning when it comes down to that word, it is the black culture that promotes its existence still, as well as is upset the most (obviously) by its usage. And yet other cultural groups are the scapegoats of who uses it in today's world. WAY TO ERASE ALL THOSE YEARS OF PROGRESS

• 71. There is nothing wrong with the shirts Nas and Kelis were wearing #?!$@ is a word. That word has a meaning and that meaning is not African American People. Nas and Kelis didn't link the word to Black People (do the research). We should not be offended by this...those who are are blind to the truth. WAKE UP! I will continue to support Nas. He is a great artist and very knowledgeable of his Black History...It's in his music.

• 72. Everybody looked nice in their own way. Some of you guys probably couldn't even pull off half of the stuff these celebs are wearing. Huge fan of PARAMORE btw! They were very stylish without being too alike and Hayley Williams KNOWS that she sometimes dresses like a boy so I'm pretty sure that the stupid a$$ comment won't bother her at all. And for the ignorant comment about Donda West, that was so wrong. How would you guys (TMZ) feel if your mom or a loved one passed away and somebody cracked a joke about it? Not cool at all.
