Richmond, Virginia: In 2018, Cameron tried to rekindle an old friendship with a white person, but she would not stop using the n word around him and didn’t understand why it was so wrong.

Questions for discussion and reflection:
• What is your opinion of the n word? Who should be allowed to say it? Or should no one be allowed to? Why?
• Do you have any friends in your life that are disrespectful or hateful to another race? If so, why do you keep them in your life?
• Have you ever treated something that a Black person said, or treated an opinion they had, as something that applies to all Black people? Going a step further—have you ever seen a Black person do something and apply it to all Black people, even though every Black person is different?
