[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Maryland native.

It is a common racist slur around here.[/quote]

This life long Maryland resident and Democrat is not aware that some consider this word to be racist.[/quote]

Same. [/quote]

That’s because you’re both stupid. [/quote]

Am I sure you know every slang word out there that some portion of the human race considers to be derogatory?  Not likely.

Am I guess you consider every male who has made an off color comment about women to be a sexist pig?  Not likely.

I wouldn’t try to defend someone using a well known derogatory term that many white men of his generation have used for years by claiming that my delicate ears have never heard it.[/quote]

This white male of a similar age has never used that term, ever!!  Had never heard of it.  No doubt, however, I have over my many decades used a few other inappropriate terms.  And I remain confident that you also have used terms, whether intentional or not, that some might consider offensive.  [/quote]

This merely demonstrates how sheltered and separated you have positioned yourself to be removed from the people who experience racism daily. [/quote]

OMG. There is no winning with people like you. [/quote]

I’m sorry that you’ve placed yourself so much around people of privilege that you’ve never even heard of a common racial slur. You’re trying to excuse Trone though your own ignorance says more about you.[/quote]

The notion that you are aware of and never use every term that some portion of the human race considers to be derogatory is simply BS and reflects not only your ignorance but your arrogance.  I guess you would require each of us to learn and memorize every potentialy derogatory term in the hope that we all can avoid offending someone else.  You need to get a life.  [/quote]
