“It’s a stretch to believe that any non-black person today, would speak that word without malice aforethought. It’s been understood to be a racial slur since before I was born in the early fifties.”

It is indeed interesting that you do not include black persons in this denunciation, eh? Do I understand that if a black rapper calls you a “nigga” or a “ho” or a “bitch” (as they commonly do in their so-called music), that wouldn’t also be a slur to you? Really??

I didn't denounce anyone. I said that the word nigger has been commonly understood to be a racial slur since before I was born in the early fifties, and that no non-black person would speak it today without malice aforethought.

Nice trick. Are you a lawyer? You impute meanings to my words that aren't there, and that I didn't intend, then feign astonishment at my gall. That's a rotten thing to do to me, Freeper.
