>It's not just the N word. In highschools today teens of all races refer to each other using derogatory words. The N word and also Imus's phrase (while abhorrent to us) are common in schools today. When was the last time you visited a teen's MYSpace? Not to mention music. It is EVERYWHERE and not just between blacks. It is now between whites and blacks and hispanics and asians, et al. Somehow, they think it is ok and even what's in. I am surprised that none of that was mentioned in any of the media that I watched or heard. The only thing mentioned was rap music.

Yep, my kids and all their friends call each other "my N". They got it from the rap stuff. The US is spiraling downward at an ever accelerating pace. Being smart is deemed stupid! Aaaarrrggghhhh! Oh well, in another 100 years, it won't matter....
