    I just disagree. We are equally dense at worst. I’ve already expressed people were racist and had slurs that they used. Im not ignoring that or unaware of it or trying to gloss over that. This just wasn’t one of them for a long stretch of time.

    You won’t believe it because you just don’t believe it. That’s you being dense. You refuse to accept the reality I’ve witnessed. Terms weren’t used with equal intent globally throughout history. How a term was used in Caldwell Idaho in 1930 is not how it was used in Pennsylvania at the same time, despite them both being America and the people involved all being American.

          author of that comment here, hi. wasn’t joking. if you say that word expect to be perceived as racist. there’s a lot of people here with varying degrees of patience trying to help you through this you should consider listening to them.

          also: *word’s

            Oh then read the Wikipedia page you referenced. It actually gives examples supporting my statement.

            And once again, I am not saying it isn’t racist today or that people weren’t racist back then or that the word is OK today or any of the other weird things people keep acting like I said.

            I lost my patience with people being willfully ignorant a while ago. I just thought it was an interesting moment in time to see how language evolved. Not terribly dissimilar to many other terms people used to use that later morphed into slurs.

              Your submission in “Tencent says it’s not a Chinese military company and is willing to sue the US Department of Defense if it isn’t removed from a blacklist” was removed for Rule 3.

              Dude, I’m not the one saying a racial slur (that has been recognized as such for over a century), isn’t one.

              Cry harder.

              Edit: love how you completely changed your comment. Doesn’t change the facts.

              I’ve never heard my 100y/o grandpa ise racist slurs in my life.

                I’m not either. But there’s a difference between isn’t and wasn’t. But again, you don’t care. I’m still not defending racism or racists or racists using the term as a slur later. Ive been super clear. I was just providing historical context.
