In reply to the discussion: Fox Reporter Drops N-Bomb Talking about Inauguration [View all]heaven05
(18,124 posts)just wondering. I have been in mixed company when the n-word slipped from the lips of a particular person talking to another about a mutual acquaintance. Hell, that word is used constantly in this society because the culture we have is mean and vicious. I was not accusing you, I just know that word is used a lot in private speech in america. not trying to offend. on edit: I wish everyone would refrain from using that word, both blacks and whites. But that is a fantasy wish only. Never happen. When I try to educate young blacks as to the origin and spirit behind that word, most look at me like I'm out of it and I guess I am. Last summer the kids cutting my grass were using that word a lot. I told them my feelings as to the origin and spirit behind that word, one out of four stopped using that word, for a while. That word will curse our spirit till the end of time, I fear. So, no offense meant.
