There's nothing like seeing white people share their important thoughts on how unfair it is that they can't be racist.

It would be nice if race would stop taking over random words.

Sorry than we don't let you be a bigot.

You're taking credit for this?  Give me a heads up on which word is next.

It's not random. It's whatever word you choose to use to describe black people next. And yes, that is YOU and your kind specifically.

It's not random, but it's also not based on the word chosen by whites to describe blacks. In this case it's pretty clear that the word was chosen by blacks to describe blacks (see hip-hop in posts above), and the offense came when some people hadn't caught up with the "new" meaning.

You mean I get to choose?  Cool.  I saw a black pedestrian the other day.  The word "pedestrian" is hereby racist.

Also, I have a kind now?   And to think all my life I've felt so alone!! :')
