ha, alright. I've never read it but we'll give it a go.

Hopefully it isn't too racist.

This week I had an interesting chat with my 12 year old. He answered one of his vocabulary assignment questions, involving a reading on Rosa Parks: "White people felt the negroes were arrogant, for not appreciating the privileges they already had."

His rationale was that it had fewer letters than African American and he was tired of writing.

He finished reading IT, this week. That's where he learned the word negro.
