An equal-opportunity offense
A veteran television anchor who has worked in Charlotte, Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas and Kansas City was fired Tuesday by a Huntsville, Ala., station after allegedly calling an African American producer the "N" word.
What makes this story even more interesting: The anchor is African American as well.
He got what he deserved. "Nigger" as a word needs to be retired, period. It certainly has no place in a work setting. And there should be no special exemption for black folks to use it.
If we don't want whites to say it, we shouldn't, either.

Sometimes little things happen that kind of re-affirm one's faith.

Agreed, Allen. That word and double-standard should have been retired long ago.
