I was commenting to the person that said "all southern people use the N word". Those 3 words do not equal the n word in my opinion. The n word ranks up there with calling a woman the C word. It's the worst. But if you asked a black person in 1930 what they preferred to be called, they would have said "black or colored". Not a "n".

And I don't use "them". I say "person" because that's what they are, regardless of color of skin.
