(17,111 posts)11. I know that. No argument from me.
It was a shock to hear any racial slur but that one was especially surprising.

(29,067 posts)12. Yeah, I figured you did, and yes, it IS surprising.
Hard to believe she didn't know what she was saying..Also hard to believe she

I think the last time I heard it was in the lyrics to "Colored Spade" from the Musical Hair.
I doubt she was even born then.

Hell, it's probably the name of the Fox daily briefing on minority affairs.
