27. I knew a woman once who insisted there were "good" African-Americans and "bad" African-Americans.

And that it was not only okay to call the "bad" ones the n-word, it was actually acceptable because "that's what they are". She even said it right in front of a black lady whom I respected and admired very much, and who was a million-times more of a lady than this other person could ever hope to be. She quit not long after, and I couldn't blame her; but I was sickened to see her go.

Sounded a lot like this waste of human protoplasm.
