I was in line at the grocery and a young black woman in the front of the line was having trouble with her card. She was holding the hand of a fussy little girl and laughing about the card. From behind me a woman says quietly "nigga". I turned around to see a sweet old lady with her old hair style and her old jewelery, and her old bigotry. And she just smiled, and I cringed.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Chances are that the old bitch thought it was "cute." I say that and I'm an old man. Many white people just don't get it that they should not be using this word. I know an ignorant white man who told me once how hurt he is for blacks to call him "honky." Oh, the poor bastard!

In my old age I have become much more willing to confront. I may have asked WTF?

There was no way I could have confronted a little old lady and come away feeling good about it.
