Federal jury rules N-Word not a term of endearment among blacks | Fox News

Federal jury rules N-Word not a term of endearment among blacks | Fox News: A federal jury has rejected the argument that use of the "n-word" among blacks can be a culturally acceptable term of love and endearment, deciding its use in the workplace is hostile and discriminatory no matter what.

Jurors last week awarded $250,000 in compensatory damages to a black employment agency worker who was the target of an slur-laced rant by her black boss, and they return to a Manhattan federal court Tuesday to decide on punitive damages.
