On Friday, I REPEATED a word I shouldn't have... I used the N word to describe an african american.
I made it CLEAR that i was repeating it, and it wasn't MY word... I even hate that word.
Today... I got called into the supervisors office and was FIRED for it... even after I TOLD them I apologized to the woman who got offended by that word. Didn't matter.
I MUST be a racist... Yeah, me, who has a site dedicated to the unidentified remains of black females.
Don't know why I cried on the way home cause I didn't really like that job to begin with.
But my question is, WHY is it okay for african americans to say to each other, "What's up, my nigga?" but if I REPEAT the word I get fired?
I don't get it.
