Re: Way OT: It's Stuff Like This....

No, George is NOT right. The N word was never permitted in my house
growing up and I have never used it.

George, it blows my mind --- the mindlessness that passes as leadership

As for your use of the word "***", it says a whole lot more about
your character than it ever say about the people you are referring to.

don't hold it against me to hard tho --- that wasn't my voice. granted,
the fingers relayed the message, but the thot was not, nor never would

Cool. Intent is everything and from what I know of you, I don't believe
you
had the intent that the word implies.

I believe that there are two types of people in this country... people who
have (at some point in their life) used the N word and people who lie when
they say that they never used it.

You got that right George. I'll admit, I used the N Word quite often when I
was growing up. That was the 50's and things were different then. Of course,
the word was used in discussion with other white people and we NEVER called
a black person a N***** to their face. Nor did we ever harass or intimidate
a black person in school or outside of school.
Got away from using that word, when I was in the army. Words like that, tend
to get your ass kicked in the wrong situations.
I'd guess I haven't used that word since the mid 1960's. Don't intend to
either.
