    The N word.....

    Not that I don't believe any of us haven't used that word before, but I hope many of us put that way behind in the past.

    As for if Trump used it or is still using it, that's his problem. What scares me more is the latest to come about the way he ran his show during tapings as reported by Tom Arnold. Seems Tom has seen the man in action and if what he mentions still happens today that scares the hell of of me.

    Many years ago we all said that word didn't know any difference.

    You’ll have to do a better job of what that pinnacle of truth and light, Tom Arnold, says he observed for those of us who do not know, Fred. You sound like you assume we keep up with Tom.

    Seems as though you used the power of the “N-word” to troll this thread, when you merely wanted eyes to pump another thought altogether. Do you want to discuss the word with its wildly outsized impact or the thoughts of another loony actor?

    It seems to me that if you use the term 'N-word' you might as well use the original term. What is the difference? Both conjure up the same image whatever that may be for each person. Why is it ok for certain people to say a word and it is ok but if certain other people say the same word it is racist? Word games.

    Good points.

    When very young my Mother read Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn to us and that word was in kids reading.
