It's amazing how much language effects people.

It's like saying "Gosh darn it" over "God damn it".... They essentially mean the same thing -- you imply the same meaning.


Same thing with the word "black". I find "black people" equally as offensive, considering African American's* (p/c ) aren't actually black

The very word 'negro' or 'nigger' are early variants of neger, negar -- which derive from the Spanish and Portugese word 'negro', or "black."


*The term "African American" is ridiculous and long-winded -- and in itself is racist because it segregates what type of "American" you are.
