Another Day, Another Witness On Sen. Allen and Racial Slurs

Her name is Pat Waring, she's 75 and lives in Maryland, and I believe her. She says she remembers the day vividly that some kid was throwing around the "n word" in a loud voice ... a kid who grew up to be a Senator. See the video via Hardball with Chris Matthews, Woman says Allen used racial slur repeatedly or via YouTube.

One reason I believe this story is that I remember how shocked I was the first time I heard a live person (as opposed to a film) refer to blacks as "niggers", in the early 70s -- in Bethany Beach, Delaware.
