Racial slurs were also fun and games for the white people who spread racist propaganda during the Jim Crow era - music and art that was full of anti-black imagery, ideas and biases that survive in the hearts and minds of some white people and need only a drunken binge to be revealed. I've experienced first-hand a white co-worker getting drunk in front of me and uttering the full n-word when talking about a multi-racial teenager. I had not seen any sign of racism from this man until he had too much to drink. His inner-most thoughts about black people came out. I never saw him the same way after that. Totally lost my respect.
