I used to really get bent out of shape with Juan's opinions, but more and more I see him being more objective. I may not always agree, but he puts forth rational arguments that he really believes.
You could tell by his body language and his eyes that he was really hurt by the comment that was made to him. It truly shook him. (I'm glad he explained it. I didn't understand what the remark meant and why it upset him.)
When he used the term, “house negro,” he used the clean version. The common, black community version is, “house n****r,” a totally insulting, racist epithet in the black community.
