      Unfortunately for them they don’t get to control how others feel about it. They’re free to say it at any time though. All the redneck cowards I live near use it all the time, when no black people are around.

          You should hear the ways they justify it when pressed. “You don’t have to be black to be a …”, “not all black folks are one, but this one is.”, “why do you care, you’re not black.”, etc.

          They’re usually one and the same. You don’t come to hate entire races of people out of logical thinking.

        We all know they have no souls. It’s not like they’re real people anyways.
