Just ran across some shit..

So yeah, I ran across some article or another, mentioning Nigeria, just reminded me of something I hadn't thought of in about 21 years.

I learned how to read before I even started school, so I had a habit of correcting people when they spelled something wrong (including a few teachers every now and then, damn they hated that).

Anyway, I remember being in 3rd grade, and I'm in school, doing schoolwork or whatever, and I'm looking at my book. I see the countries "Niger" and "Nigeria" in a list. So I took my book up to Mr. York's desk, and told him "They spelled nigger wrong in this book"..yeah I got in a lot of trouble for that one. And didn't even really know why at the time.
