" I didn't have any white children associates, so I played around with the nigruh children" I find it amusing how old south pronounces the N word.

Growing up in the south in the 60s, the N word wasn't considered polite. The polite and genteel folks used negro and pronounced it as you typed it above. I never heard anyone in my family use the N word. It was considered crass. They wouldn't use the N word any more than they would cuss in public.
