Words that have become taboo now were not always that. I'm not saying it's good to use the N word, but I would ask; if it is so bad for whites to use it, why is it not so for blacks to use it. America has come a long way since 1861 but in some ways has a very long way to go. For some blacks as well as whites the Civil War has never ended it seems. That is a pity and until it does, we may never realize fully our founding principles.
