I mentioned once before that much of the black angst towards whites hinges on the fact that they can't seem to find a word identifier for whites that really upsets them. Nothing really works! Think about it.
I known it sounds simple and childish. But there is a lot of fact in the statement.
I agree and it's not just blacks. Women have their word(s), latino's have their's, etc. White American men, knowing both who and what they are, cannot be moved by a mere word, regardless how deprecating that word might be.
I'd like to have my word. Not to be offended by it, but to mock it.
