		<description><![CDATA[I was having coffee recently with someone who casually referred to a friend as a “N.” This was a business association, not a personal one, so I am comfortable that my exposure to this kind of disrespect won’t be frequent.  But of course, I was still offended and stated this but of course was told<a class="moretag" href="http://blog.ctnews.com/gabby/2009/09/13/on-using-the-n-word%e2%80%a6%e2%80%a6%e2%80%a6/"> &#160;Read More</a>]]></description>
