WEB SITE N-WORD OUTRAGE
By BRIGITTE WILLIAMS-JAMES

October 29, 2006 -- A new Web site owned by an 18-year-old New Jersey native is causing controversy because of its use of the n-word.
It's called NiggaSpace.com - and it mimics the popular myspace.com site.

The owner - who goes by the name Tyrone, and won't reveal his race - said "this is no way meant to be racist, my biggest intention is to change the connotation of the word."
Despite Tyrone's pie-in-the-sky hopes, the name had African-American city leaders outraged.

"That's insane!" said City Councilman Charles Barron. "People need to understand that you don't take a word meaning lowlife and worst kind of human being and use it like that.
"We need to call ourselves more royal things, like kings and queens, not that word."

When asked if he would ever shut the site down or change the name, Tyrone adamantly said, "No! The only time I would consider it is if it comes to the point where everyone is offended by it."
