Good to get the word out, but come on Paul - do you really have to post the n-word? Do you post all racial slurs?

Ban the word

Shelley typed nigga not the full n-word so it is OK. Hav you listened to the radio lately? There is nothing wrong with nigga, It is a term of endearment.

Edward H: i hardly think there's "nothing wrong" with the word. it's loaded with history and conflict and misunderstanding and ownership, fraught with who gets to use it and why and when.

Also, Ban the word: shelley used the word; not paul. it's her comment; not his. paul has the right to publish our words and shelley has the right to say what she has to say to buddy because clearly in this context it is out of love and concern for him.
