They acted totally shocked and I think they really had been using it as a phrase without thinking about the meaning of the words.
Doesn't excuse it of course.
What I don't get is how politicians in general don't seem to learn their bloody lessons - this happens with such alarming regularity that you'd think they'd...well, think before they open their mouths.
There's few words that make me cringe as much as that one.
I said maybe.....
When we got on the bus, they all started talking to a black woman of similar age who was already on it - clearly they all knew each other. She (the black woman) said that word at least 3 times in the few minutes before we got off.
Racism is alive and well.
I don't think somebody who uses it means badly but has a mouth that moves faster than their brain filters.
Literally the first I've ever heard of this phrase!
Some people do say there are no words that should be out of bounds, but I hope that's one that never becomes acceptable again.

Football is rubbish.
I live in rural Wales. Here, the natives use the word "English" as an insult.
No matter where you travel, the outsider and the wilfully different will be scapegoats.
So, while the n-word has a lot of negative connotations can not the phrase be used in such a way as has been used in literature and never once think of it actually describing an escaped slave... i.e. a level of linguistic naivete rather than indicating that every other word out of her mouth is "n*****"
I mean... it probably is that she's a big ole racist... but it's always possible that she's not... even if only very unlikely
