One of the inmates used the word "n****r" when addressing a black inmate. However, it must be said that she did not use it in a racist manner, but rather in - what she undoubtedly considered - a hip, street lingo manner. I don't listen to rap music, but it appears that black artists often use the word in their lyrics. Can anyone out there confirm this? |
