DON'T FORGET: 'The N-Word' Sunday Night

[Smokey H]

from TRIOTV.COM:

Easily the most inflammatory word in the English language, the word "N_GGER" has smoldered in the American psyche for over a century. But as we enter the 21st century it has morphed from a source of degradation and embarrassment to a nickname, freely traded among African American and suburban MTVers alike. Surf the web, eavesdrop in the lunchroom, the "N" word is alive and well. Far removed from its horrific origins, the word has seemingly lost its power to insult and enrage. Or has it? This topic and more is examined in the THE N-WORD, recounting America's troubled but evolving racial dialogue. From minstrel shows reaffirming racial stereotypes to Richard Pryor bringing the word to the mainstream, Trio explores the history of the word and how it has been used over the years.

I think it's important TV, especially with the latest Bill Cosby
statements.

And YES, Richard is featured...
