      Eh fuck you too? My life experiences are different than yours and directly contrast your assertion.

      I shared that experince because I think you are wrong and wanted to give an example to that end. But hey, if you wanna keep pretending everyone in the past were evil racists, you can keep living with that in your heart. I dunno what it does for you though.

        Throughout its existence the prevalent use has been as a racial slur.

        Dude, the people in the past admitted to being racist, and when a racist term gets used it shouldn’t be excused.

        Again with the dense skull.

          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.
