First, being a nigger has nothing to do with being black. There are other black races: I have friends from Columbia and Portugal who are dark-skinned enough to pass for niggers at first sight, but, when you look more closely, you see that their bone structure, hair, lips and other features are human, and they have no nigger DNA in their genetic makeup.

In fact, they are disadvantaged by this unfortunate resemblance. The Portuguese guy said recently how people will cross the street to avoid him, because they think that he's a nigger. He found it quite offensive at first, though he's become used to it.

No, being a nigger has more to do with an inherent attitude. The fact that they have black skin is incidental. So, although we all know what the writer meant, the letter could have been better phrased.

Regarding Tom's remarks about the law- here in Britain, the situation is such that any parent who wrote such a note would be arrested for racial hate crime, and the story would probably be plastered all over the newspapers and TV and radio news channels. They odd thing is that a nigger who makes abusive public pronouncements about whitey, is allowed its freedom of speech.

I've been admonished on here before for pointing out the effects of coddling. I'm not human-bashing; as I've also stressed, it is not a human fault, but rather the reverse; an attempt by humans to do the best they can for the nigger species. Misguided they may be, but coddlers are not bad people- unlike those that they try to help, they are working for the good of others. The problem is that it has lead to an unbalanced society in which niggers are free to get away with more or less anything they like.
