I was at a crosswalk in New Jersey last week, in a complex with a few hotels. A very attractive foreign-speaking (maybe German) woman was with a male companion. All of a sudden, a “person of color” had a radio cranked and the N-word was stated (sung?) at least three times in about 30 seconds. He continued walking. The woman glanced at me in a moment of a horrified appearance. I wanted to say “Welcome to America” but opted to return a look of astonishment.
I spent 25 years in uniform in the New York State prison system. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard black convicts call other black convicts the N word. I’d be rich.
