If I hear the n-word spoken and turn around to see who said it, which am I most likely to see:
A. A white racist
B. A black
C. A black rapper
D. A suburban white kid, pretending to be a black rapper
Or E: My 96 year-old Norwegian grandmother. As in “I had such a nice time at dinner with that nigger girl from across the street.”
(The “girl” in question was probably 50 years old!) Of course my GM has been dead for 30+ years - but boy did it make me cringe, even though she didn’t mean anything by it. I’m still not sure why Dr. Laura felt the need to apologize.
