You can't keep running from what you're trying to find.

In my english class we're currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird. If you didn't know, it's a novel based in the south in... the 30's or something. And they use the "N word" a lot. I was wondering if it offends you when you read stuff like that. I guess it makes the characters seem more realistic, but still. ermm.gif

It's okay, because it's in keeping with the time period. Actually, our History teacher is allowing us to use the n-word (although I don't really plan to) in these plays we're doing in class. I'd feel awkward using it in front of people.
