J'accuse

QUESTION (under oath):   "Have you ever used the N-word?"
ANSWER (also under oath):  "Even now, I shudder at the very thought of anyone, at any time, ever having used that word.  I believe I must have had some familiarity with the usage of the word, due to the time I lived in,but uttering it is so heinous that I shrink from the memory of ever having heard the word, not to mention ever having  voiced the syllables.  The use of such a term to deliberately denigrate a noble race of people causes my mind to withdraw from any knowledge of such extreme intolerance.  And if others ever did so speak, I can only prevail upon Our Lord to forgive them, for they knew not what they did.  And I answer your question honestly, fully aware of the oath I've taken.   (Um, there are no recordings from back in the day, are there?)
