I wonder how Al Sharpton feels about the n-word.
Update: This was actually kind of a serious question. I've heard many black people use the word in reference to each other, but I've never seen the man come out and torch those who use it. After a little research I found an article in which he and Kanye West blast a guy called Nas(?) who actually calls his latest album "Nigger." I also found an older article in which Sharpton goes to a (what appears to be) primarily black school and gave an encouraging speech that was interesting to read. I wish the media would show this sort of thing more often, 'cause I will fully admit I have been exposed only to the (presumed anti-white) sensationalist sides of Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Take a look around for yourselves when you get the chance.
