Personally age colour race I have no problem with any of it...I take the person for what they are and who they are or are not. My comment has nothing to do with this thread but just wanted to reply to you as you mentioned niggers. I remember my Mum and I going into John Lewis in Liverpool and Mum wanted to buy nigger brown thread and the sales lady quietly whispered to Mum not to say nigger...that was yonks ago. Remember the golly on the jar..shame that had to go..
I do not call them then N word either, just noticed they call each other that, thats all.

I guess its all some kind of perverted backlash to a couple of hundred years of white supression of blacks. Or something. I dunno. I dont know even why people are so colour conscious.

Excellent article from the Detroit Free Press that captures my sentiments on Nagin far more eloquently than I can:
