NASCAR. Driver Kyle Larsen fired

I do wish the time would return when people made mistakes, owned up to them, and got on with it.

Yep ... Kyle is Japanese and called his white spotter the n word and gets crucified. He did own up and apologize but social media shamed sponsors.

Apparently, only blacks can call other blacks the n word.

When I was a kid the n word didn't just refer to blacks. It was used for anyone at any time .. like saying "hey .. idiot". But over time it's taken on quite a persona.

I guess not much of a surprise, but I grew up in an area where no one used that word, outside of reading a book aloud. I imagine if we did, our mouths would have met soap. My brother's did when he used the F word. LOL!

My dad made me EAT a bar of soap once when he heard me cursing.

But not even gonna lie, growing up EVERYONE referred to the black paper you put on a house after the plywood goes up as nigger board, and if you mickey moused something, you nigger rigged it.

Oh and the little town we lived in had a sign up that said "niggers be out of town by dark" even up until after I graduated high school and that was 1989.
