Can you use the word "lynch" in a story?

high-tech...bah, and Al Gore hadn't even invented the Internet yet.

 

I don't understand "pretend".

So you are emotional because my opinion does not conform to what you think a black person should think.

Out of curiosity I posed this "lynch word in story" question to a couple of other black people. The initial reaction of both was, "was he writing about a primarily black team?". When I said no (the Cardinals currently have one American black player on the roster), they kind of hemmed and hawed and said they could kinda see how it could be offensive, I got the sense that they thought that this is what I wanted them to say.
