    I worked in a call centre about 10 years ago. one time some old, presumably white, old woman called in and when spelling her name included “N for N****r”

    I was dumbfounded

      We had those old alphabet books in school where N was “neger”

      I believe the print date was around the 1950s. They were placed on bookshelves in classroms full of old books that i guess they never bothered to throw out.

      The way that my impulsive brain SCREAMS at me to say swear words when I’m doing it… I’d never say like the N word but I just want to say B for Bitch sometimes, y’know? A as in asshole.
