This is why I am passionate about racist topics. Not only am I tremendously against racism, but I'm also against the political correctness that does more to promote division rather than break it down.
The word was used several times in the wonderful movie To Kill a Mockingbird. It was said deliberately by the actors!
It was spelled out on purpose by Mark Twain in writing Huckleberry Finn! Can you believe it?
But Possessed, who clearly was not intending to promote its usage, is hanged by his thumbs for his analogy, which was in face against racism. Gosh, it just annoys me how PC overrules reason and our desire to prevent offends requires human sacrifice.
