I have found that, as a rule, if one child in a family uses the "N" word (esp. with the apparent ease that Roger shows), the rest of the family was probably NOT raised up with lessons of racial tolerance...my BS detector is twitchin' big time over this story !
OH HOW I wish someone would come up with an airttight tape (preferably video) of Bubba using the "N" word !
This is not in defense of Clinton, just to disagree with your statement of not being raised with lessons of racial tolerance.
There are many many of us who had that word used regularly around us while growing up and used it ourselves who would have had been in big trouble had we shown any 'racial intolerance'. Believe me, for some people, the two do not equate. This is something the PC crowd has thought up. It is just a word, signifying nothing to many people.
So, no using 'the n-word' doesn't translate to racial intolerance. It has been twisted that way for some to use as a weapon. Tolerance, racial or otherwise, is not taught with words, but actions.
By the way does anyone else get tired of say 'the n'word' like we were kindergarten children?
