#4 Perhaps she has been hanging around black folks enough that she thought the word was acceptable.

I'm fascinated by how we have progressed from racially segregated drinking fountains to racially segregated vocabulary.

#6 If you can SAY the word at all, assh*le, it's in your vocabulary. My (otherwise bigoted) mother raised us that we were NEVER to use that word, because "Only trash talks like that, and I'm not raising any trash."

And yes, I still believe that "only trash talks like that," whether it's some white delegate in Maryland or Chris Rock.

#7 You have to give this person credit. She never uses such language except when she speaks or writes, and that means most of the time.
And when she said these words were not in her vocabulary, she was referring to the book of words she once studied from when cramming for some exam. And maybe they were not there.
So you should forgive her trespasses just as she and her fellow Democrats forgive those who trespass against them.

#8 Chris Rock has a bit addressing this word usage, where he may ask, "Well, is it?"

#9 We all have certain words in our vocabulary that we've learned over the years not to use anymore. Some of us learned better than others. But those words are there.
