But "we" are not!
If you delete this then we will know you are the coward you portray in many of your movies!

A Lot Of People Use The Word *beep* " Or "My *beep* Everyday

Well, you Stop Using It After Reading The Definition Of The
Word............

*beep* Lowlife, Ignorant And Stupid.

Is This What Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Fought For?

Think About That? Would You Let Somebody Say To You "What's Up You
Stupid, Ignorant, Inferior and Lowlife *beep*

I Don't Think So.

Remember The Ones Who Suffered So Others Would Not Use The word So
Freely.
Remember The Millions Who were Hanged
And Beaten While They Used This Word To Kill Them.
WAKE UP MY PEOPLE!
Some Think We Are Stupid. Some Say We Are
Ignorant. Let's Us Never Be Thought Of As *beep*

I wholeheartedly agree! To see black people using that word for fun, when our grandmothers and grandfathers were hurt when that word was used is horrible. I'll never use that word and i'll fight for the abolition of that word in our modern day speech for as long as I live!

good luck on ur "mission"

[–] lacey001 18 years ago

I agree with you. This mission that has been set out will be a hard one. Many teenagers and even young adults dont know what it really means or they dont have grandparents to tell them how that feels because there parents arent that much older than they are.

I agree in some aspects. But deleting this won't mean cowardice. We shouldn't be afraid of a WORD. We shouldn't ban language just because a word is offensive. If we don't discuss it, don't SAY the word and understand the history of it, we're just going to repeat it. Don't be afraid of language, it's not the word itself that causes hatred, ignorance and fear. It's those exact feelings behind it. Words take on so many different meanings, if we shy away from them we're not fighting hatred, we're promoting censorship and ignorance.
