No, but it has gotten old as hell.

Well, OK, I see your point(s), but I don't believe what I said was any offensive, but, oh well, I had some posts suspended/hidded some months ago for defending black people and opposing slavery just because some truths hurt more than using a stupid little word.

IMO the weight they have to cary and the continuous life threats they have to face on their daily lives, not only in the US, but in most countries where slavery was untill recently perpetrated, should matter more than some words, but apparently that is not how things are carried out, words matter more than the harsh reality.

I'll do it your way, I won't do it again, but I doubt that sounds offensive to someone that, like me, lives in a place that 7 out of 10 people are from african descent.

Liz, scan. Now.

I'm eargasming in the Flautist thread at the moment. I suggest you do the same.

Yeah, but I haven't had a chance to respond yet.

Friend with dumbass girlfriend is chatting me up. Again. Get rid of her already, dumbass.

This (sans Nick Cave).

Yep, we do care for you, Liz.  As I've said before, it'll be nothing but it's best to make sure it is nothing.

I think my friend's fainting is caused by heart palpitations or something.

That can be construed as wisdom though in many cases.

If it's telling him how stupid he's being, then it's a wise (and best) thing to do.  Let me know how it goes.  Also, if you feel like explaining the situation, then I am happy to listen.  No worries if not though.

And I don't think that you meant to be offensive, but I think that at least here in the US it could be interpreted as offensive.  Trust me, when I say that it is just a can of worms that I'd rather not open.
