Saw it on the news Mike, but it doesn't alter the fact that although the guy himself didn't use the word, it was part of a recording from the 30's? But because it's the word nigger irrespective of the context, the howling & baying for someone, anyone, to be punished for it is out of all proportion to the presumed offence!

Knee jerk over common sense, sadly the standard reaction to far to many cases nowadays due to over-sensitivity about perceived offence given & militant liberalist whiners whose overbearing preciousness must over ride anyone elses opinions & rights it seems!
