[quote=Anonymous]A couple of observations. In common use, there is a difference between the N word with a "er" at the end and one with "a" at the end? The one with the "a" is typically used as the equivalent for bro. It seems odd that White people are essentially fighting to use the word just because others use it. Try as you might, you cannot ignore the historical connotation of the word. We are White and I have told my own kids that I do not care who they hear using the word - they are not to use it. I dare any White person to use the word towards any target group and defend it with "I heard others say it so it must be ok." Same with "b!tch or f*g or d*ke. I just hope you have good dental insurance. As far as the OP, I thought the principal's response was wholly appropriate. And you headline was misleading - the letter was just not about the n word - it was about offensive language in general. [/quote]
