Well, at least she uses asterisks instead of tweeting the the actual words.

I know this is taken out of context, and that she didn't mean any harm by it; however, it is a sensitive word that many people are still bothered by. As a White woman, she should have used her senses and not have tweeted this at all. I talk more about the word's use amongst Whites and Blacks in the first chapter of my book.
