Why should you feel sorry? A title is a title. There's no obligation to censor the past nor should there be.

- Lammy 5y agoTotally agreed, but the past is the past and our emotionally understood meanings of words live in the present https://youtu.be/dUd9-92EEuw https://youtu.be/dUd9-92EEuw
- ashwagary 5y agoThe past is not just the past. The continent of people that were robbed and destroyed using this word exist very much in the present.
- ashwagary 5y agoI can understand feeling sorry, the most offensive words in the English language are tied to a lot of undeserved trauma for certain groups of people. Same is true if dominant groups of other countries repurposed the slurs we know. Example: "Black Whitetrash of Nigeria" "Brown Kikes of India" "Yellow Crackers of China"
