silverthorneOkay, here's the thing.
If someone says Hey, this hurts people and promotes racism, and maybe you ought to rethink it",
Then perhaps it's a clue that maybe you should listen, rather than be a willfully blind jackass about it.
Yes, the word just might mean something else to you and others who share your lack of experience with this word as a weapon. But for something as serious as racism?
Maybe you ought to consider that the people who will suffer from it and have suffered from it just might have a point, okay?
The only way to stop it is to be an active and willing participant of stopping it.
Cluebat over. Think about it, all right?
