Subject: Please stop saying the K-Word
I hate the K word. It isn’t anywhere near as offensive as the n word. But, imagine referring to all AA women with long nails as LaShanda. Or all Hispanic men working blue collar jobs as Juan. It’s a hateful stereotype.

Your thread was one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever seen posted here. I am giving you credit for being ignorant rather than simply racist.
I understand that it's because I identified myself as a black woman in that thread, and this forum has made it clear time and time again that the black POV is not welcome. But please, continue calling me ignorant. Not just ignorant, but one of the most ignorant things you've ever seen. I'll give you credit for just being selective about how you moderate your website, rather than simply being racist. Meanwhile, I'll focus my efforts on recommending sofas to people and try my best to ignore all the hatred that spews through this forum day in and day out that you think is a-okay.
Amen. Really disappointed in you Jeff.

ooh! What was your post about? I'm a black woman and I wonder if we'll agree or not.
Ditto! I totally missed that thread. I’m really curious now.

Well Jeff won't let us use it here at all, so... (which I also think is ridiculous)

I think half the people (myself included) had no idea that there was a K-word and even if they did, they probably thought it was spelled with a C. So I think some of these posts sound racist or ignorant but it is because we are too young for those cuss words. I remember the first time someone said "gy9-ed" to me and I was shocked, because I really didn't know what it meant (it's racist against gypsies) but none of us know that. it is a generational thing.

No. I’m 28. It’s just so tiresome and done. Nothing is lamer and more pathetic than a parrot trying to be pithy.
Another millennial. I feel like everyone our age was saying this word mockingly (not seriously) maybe 3-5 years ago and now it's just hitting the mainstream older moms. It's not actually a bad word. It's just something you want to avoid being, or, at least that was the case when everyone I know was still saying it every once in a while.
