DID YOU KNOW that the state of Idaho can send you to prison for saying the "n-word?" Just ask Lonny Rae. He used the "n-word" against a black man who was manhandling his wife. Lonny now faces jail time. The black man who attacked his wife does not. The "n-word" has been getting lots of press lately, thanks to a New York Times bestseller by African-American Harvard law professor Randall Kennedy, entitled, "N----r: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word."
