Yes… but what was she, 60’s or so? It is hard for some folks to feel comfortable with change at that age. Is it cool? Depends.. as long as no violence is involved. But don’t expect all people to such be able to deal with change like that. I grew up in it so I am cool with it. I would rather use a term to show her ignorance of the situation.

No, I know what you’re saying. I mentioned my grandpa upthread, and he’d throw around words that can’t be repeated here for blacks, latinos, asians, you name it. I’m not saying people like that need to shunned, far from it, but I don’t think Brown’s comments were out of line. Terribly impolitic, though.
