[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She may not have known the history of blackface[b], but surely she knew that the n word is unacceptable[/b].[/quote]

But maybe not.

That word is thrown around so casually in pop culture as a socially acceptable expression, particularly in music.

She could very well have been clueless as to how abhorent the use of that word is, because in many "art forms" especially music it is not.[/quote]

People acting like teens using the n-word is so outrageous must not have teens. My teens know better than to ever use that word but believe me, it is RAMPANT. It's all over their social media posts and has become a current "slang" term that friends call each other. [/quote]

My white son has attend schools that are primarily African American all his life (like, 90%+ AA) and he says has heard the n-word use by other (AA) children a LOT all his life and more so now that he is a teen.   Yes, he knows he is not supposed to say it or use it even in a manner similar to how his AA classmates are using it, but at some point the reason why he can't use it but others can becomes a bit blurred.
