You raised an interesting point Lu Zuckerman, about the "N" word and it's use/misuse amongest the races. I'm black and I personally find that "N" word offensive WHOEVER says it. I hate it when it's used amongest black people with each other then accuse other people of being racist when they say it!!! What IS that? I don't like the "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. I agree with your last statment.
I'd love to seen that girls' evidence for how that flight caused her to be bed-ridden for 3days, poor thing.
