Mr. Jow,
For goodness sakes, let's disagree on these terms, but don't insult me by
telling me that I'm "twisting" the words to suit me. You must be living on
another planet to even suggest I would do something like that. Get this Mr.:
I'm not Politically Correct. I hate euphemisms. I call a spade a SPADE! If
you've never met a Nigger, good luck and Power to you! I have, and it's not
very pleasant. There's nothing worse than being accosted by an ANIMAL in
human (black) skin! I'm not questioning your right to be offended by the
word "Nigger," don't question my mindset in using it!
I'm sorry if you're too supperficial to understand what I'm saying, but I
won't be dragged into any silly argument. So, thanks for your opinion 'cause
this is all I have to say about this topic. I just hope you don't run into
one of these characters some day. You may be forced to eat your words.
So long!
Saul.
