You'll NEVER hear Lennon's song on USA radio. It was not included in a collection of his music. Here it's WW 3if anyone other than a Black or brown skinned person uses it. And it's always slung around even by Bengalis. "Yo...my n.....a" No matter what the context or purpose like a hearing regarding the use of bitch. When I taught, I taught Huckleberry Finn and aside from a lesson about Twain's use of the slur, I told kids when they read aloud that they could chose not to say it. I had no incident. Not even from my jihadi assistant Principal English. I wonder if in 2025 anyone is teaching this American classic. Today, I might elect NOT to teach it for the reasons it leaves open that I'd be accused of promoting racism.
