[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand it when people act like calling someone the n-word is the same thing as talking about the n-word theoretically. Like, don't say n-word or do you ever say n-word.

It is purposefully obtuse.

Also, I think that 8 years old is too young to go to a park by yourself.

Personally, I think no one should say the n word. I say no one is allowed to say the n word. But since we as a society have decided that some people can say it, it's going to be a curse word that is heard in adult spaces. Like a basketball court. [/quote]

First, this was a basketball court at a playground- meant for kids. Second, the younger kid didn’t just overhear a bad word, the older called him over and was taunting him asking him if he knew what it meant/ever heard it, etc.  Fair to assume he wanted to put the younger kid in a situation that would result in the older kid calling him a racist or something along that vein.  Pretty sure the older kid didn’t just want to have a philosophical conversation about the n-word with an 8 yr old.  So this goes above “hearing bad language” on the playground to me.  I still wouldn’t have went back and engaged with older kid, but this is a lot more serious than just hearing a bad word.  OP teach your child to not engage at all with people out looking for trouble. Don’t even answer them, just walk away [/quote]
