I've been wracking my brain all week about why this work strikes such a cord with me. When I first read the passage in the book it really bothered me, after we talked about it in class and I heard all of the different sides it lessened quite a bit but I still can't figure out why one little word can cause me to get so angry and cause such emotion. Throughout this week the word has popped out at me several times. Channel 4 had an article about a man who was arrested in Niagara Falls for again breaking the law again after already being in trouble for posting a "whites only" sign a few years ago. On a funny site I frequent there was a short video with an animated clip under it and it was titled "That's Racist" I guess its wierd that the word is so common place now, I felt that I was the only one that was offended by it.
