Thank you! there was 1 PM to me from another SI member on this topic. I am posting the PM & my response, without identifying the SI member (no TOU violation:-) _________ SI poster : I think it was more a play on words by the Moose, Kumar. He referenced "denigrating" which to some segment of the population might sound like a slur based on the "n" word, which we all know is the case. It's kind of like people getting up in arms over the word "niggardly," meaning stingy. Kumar : Accepted, but in my 1 and only visit to Harlem,NYC , I found the local population referring to each other as "Nigger(s)". Is it an exclusive prerogative to them that is absent from the notion of it being a denigrating slur ?
