EMBARRASSMENT BURNS

[Duchess]

In 5^th grade, I called a black classmate "Raisin"

Embarassing and racist.

I had a similar event when I was a young man in Vegas.
I have never been so mortified in my life before or since as that day looking at that little girl. And I have embarrassed myself a lot of fucking times.

It's a very bad word, no doubt about it. My Mom viewed it as a cuss word and I was once grounded for calling one of my brothers that. There are no black people where I come from, I never saw an adult black in person until I went to college. As hard as it might be to believe I can only figure I must have heard it on television. It's not like there was anyone around in my life being called that.
