I'm participating in a monthly book club and the book that we'll be reading for this month is called, "nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word" by Randall Kennedy. When I first saw it in the bookstore, the title just grabbed me and I had to buy it. When I'm done reading it, I'll let you know how it was!!!

I saw the author on Booknotes on C-SPAN discussing the book and I was not very interested in the book because he used the word very loosely in his conversation as if it was just a part of vocabulary, not a hateful, demeaning word. That was just my observation, maybe the book educates and enlightens people of how the word continues to be a foot on African American's necks.
