This is something I learned a long time ago in grade school.

There was a black girl my age there and I overheard her talking to a friend and she used the "n word." Being a curious child who didn't know anything about race except the n word was bad.. and it referred to black people... and you just didn't say that word. I asked her why she used it.

Well, that landed me in the principal's office.

White people aren't allowed to ever use the "n" word in public but black people own it.. I guess you could say. It's theirs to do with as they please.

LOL I think the rethugs are feeling what I was curious about so many years ago.. why can't white people say it but black people can...

I understand why (didn't take me long to learn) but the republicans still haven't figured it out.
