Reverend Gregory Tyson of the First Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church in Savannah recently said, “A racist to me wouldn’t want the other race to prosper or succeed in any fashion. If somebody’s a racist, that’s something a lot deeper than using the ‘N’ word. Who hasn’t said honky or cracker or said n*****s referring to Indians? There are all kinds of different things we use to describe our races in a negative way. Even black people use the word n****r very freely. She was honest enough to step up and say, ‘Yeah, I’ve said the word.’”
