Thread Name: BS: Using the N-word.
Subject: RE: BS: Using the N-word.
Unless the defendant can show that it was intended inoffensively, it must be assumed he was using it abusively. After all, you never hear of someone punching someone in the mouth, whilst saying "you no good red-head", or "you *** person with grey-blue eyes", do you?

That means guilty until proven innocent?
