it is their attempt to take the power out of the word.

but I agree it does seem foolish

but to be fair to say an entire race would react the same to a certain word is kinda silly on our part. Just like you wouldnt tolerate a mother comment and I wouldnt care.

of course rosa parks is not the same and that wasnt the reason of the intial comment
