I must have heard that rhyme hundreds if not thousands of times when I was a kid. I heard adults saying that word quite a bit not realizing how loaded it was. Even my mother who used to get upset when she heard racist words called brazil nuts n.....toes.

So does the mere recitation of the slur make a person a racist? I think actions speak louder than words. And a slip of the tongue does not make a person a racist. But Clarkson will have a very difficult time getting out of this one. Because in today's world, racism only goes one way...towards whites.
