Michiel, say what you mean and mean what you say. You didn't use quotes
in the above passage to attribute that slur to someone else. You wrote it
- -without- quotes. You described a Black man as a "nigger."
You reap what you sow, and you sowed a BIG mistake.
No wonder people are calling you a racist.
Perhaps you can learn from your mistake; in the future, to avoid confusion,
use quotes when quoting others. If you're quoting yourself, then
I suggest that you leave this forum.
