Lets Embrace the N-Word

Maybe all of this tension over the N word can be quelched if we were to embrace it. Jeff Foxworthy has made a career out of embracing the R word. You know the one. If you are one then you can say it, but I aren't one so I can't. Foxworthy defines the word as having "A glorious absence of sophistication." He even goes off giving examples to test your level of sophistication. And if you pass his test then you just might be an R word.

Just as I am afraid to even write the N word, I am just as afraid to write the R word. Again, I may have to fire myself for using yet another racially charged word. I aren't one, so I am not allowed to use that word either. I could use the S word since I am of hispanic descent but I would be afraid that I may become physically harmed by another spic taking offense to that label. Maybe a black comedian can come up with his own tests to see if we just might be an N word? Imagine the laughts, imagine the money! Jeff Foxworthy proved that we all have an absence of sophistication and therefore we all just might be R words. Maybe the reason the black comedian hasn't come up with the N word test is because white people are afraid that maybe they have a little N in them? Imagine that, white people discover that they too are N words! The outrage and shock would be too much for them to handle.

I always knew you were good are writing those stock customer service replies, but turns out you're just a good writer overall. ;) Long live the N's and R's. Oh what the hell, and the S's. What does that make me? A WOP cracker?
