When my brother-in-law, who is black, comes over to watch boxing, we always play the "race card" if we don't have clear favorites. I get the lighter guy and he gets the darker guy (we go to trunks if it is two white guys or two black guys or two latin guys fighting). So I am not ignorant to the idea of being free with minimizing the whole racial divide thing. It was the context in which you chose to use your term that made me make the comments I did.

Mr. Parson. Without regard to your "black friends" and how that allows you liberties. You have no "ghetto pass". Just suck it up and try to keep the racial epitaphs out of your mouth. You wouldn't want them on your well meaning tombstone. Try to be more positive ...smile! Thanks, but I'm not worried about it. I actually have black friends, and perhaps that's why I'm a little free with the racial epithets - they use 'em all the time!, especially RE; Colin Powell and Condi Rice. I live in a mixed-race neighborhood. I think these folks with their knickers in a twist are just uptight pc white folk watching Bill Cosby from their gated communities. I know who I am.
