Of course keeping in mind that what is today considered a "racial slurr" was often the "standard" terminology used in the Early 70's

With all due respect, that's a crock. Standard terminology for racist morons, maybe. I was a teen in the early 70's, and knew full well that the so-called 'n' word was used by people with their heads up their a$$es.

Explain that to one set of my grandparents who were definitely not racist, had many black friends, and used the term...In fact, they only stopped using it when a friend pointed out that it wasn't polite.

So save your "racist morons" statements, as you are insulting the memory of my grandparents.
