48. You said you weren't accusing me "yet" -- that's where I got that from.

I hate the N word, too. I grew up calling Brazil nuts "n" toes -- having no idea what the "n" word, or even the word Negro meant at that age. It's pretty shocking to realize that it was so acceptable back then.

For all I know, the reporter in question could use the "n" word perjoratively all the time in private life, and even called it the "innigeration" regularly. If so, shame, but I just don't think we can assume that to be the case. I like to think the best of people until proved otherwise, if only so I can keep some hope in my heart that the world is basically good.
