Bullshit... who says?
If I use the word nigger and have absolutely no negative thought
in the use, how the hell can I be told that I'm a racist?
In your mind you may want to project that on to others, but that
is precisely what is wrong with the world...
One person says something, and the other takes it completely
wrong and then attacks them because they projected something in
to that person that wasn't there in the first place... Wars have
started because of this, marriages lost, etc...
Language is ambiguous, many words have multiple and completely
different meanings. It is very dangerous to project your beliefs
on to other people... not just language but anything...
For example, Walters a Mormon? He's ok with marrying multiple
women and have 100+ kids but not ok with using the word shit or
fuck? Does that make sense? So he would want to discriminate but
not be discriminated... that is typical. Typical human bias where
one side things they are right and the other is wrong... and many
times are willing to abuse or kill over it. It shows a serious
lack of intellectual honesty when people do these sorts of
things. It's backwards and archaic.
