Interesting anecdote. Obama is now getting some racist support? http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/10/on-road-western-pennsylvania.html
well if they were actually racist i don't think they would vote for Obama. Do you think racists are smart enough to understand tax credits? my guess is thats just what they call african americans all the time and don't think much of it.
When you call someone something derogatory and not think much of it, that's an even more insidious form of racism than using the term to be derisive. That means it's become ingrained in your way of thinking. It was exactly like that when I grew up in East Texas in the 50's and 60's. But there is no one in the US in 2008 that doesn't know n***** is an overtly racist term.
so when it is used by rappers it is worse than when a white guy blurts it out for the thrid time ever in his life?
i'll take this moment to recommend this title. like every other documentary, it clearly does not speak for everyone, but it is an interesting look in to the word.
Do you really believe that? What year was Tom Sawyer written? What year is it now? Earth to CaseyH: People in the year 2008 that use the n-word know the connotations. You may have had a point if this was the mid-1800s.

In a weird way you're not far off the truth. The good reverend was definitely damming the type of America Jorgie believes in.
