sorry for breaking my promise but isn't avoiding such word in internets (you can't see if the guy is white or black or what) a bit ridiculous? I have rap cd's that has a lot of "nigging" and no-one seems to care about it. It's almost like it would be a cool thing to say....

e: sorry. just got flashback that I've seen the word before. I first niggardly thought that the word was referring to racial expression but it wasn't.
