The "N" Word	Kate 08/10/2007
I am white and I only watched this movie for 5 minutes and heard the "N" word at least 10 times. The only thing worse thatn a white person using this word is a black person using it. Are you ever going to learn that this word is not acceptable no matter who uses it. it screams "I'M STUPID!!!!!!!!!
