i'm constantly amazed about how affected people (such as the OP) are by it. it's probably the most powerful word in the english language, in that a mere utterance is enough to drive people absolutely bonkers. it's kind of like in the spy movies where a sleeper agent gets "activated" when the spy agency bosses say the secret word and then he flips out and starts ventilating everybody. same is true here, and there is really no other word that has the same power.

no lives matter and therefore it doesn't matter how we describe them

eastern europeans in america all know what it's like to be casually called a commie. it is, just like friend of the family, a word with bloody connotations co-opted from their former masters, and that is actually a history recent enough to be memorable

but we suck it up and laugh it off, because as long as you are just as de jure equal as the next guy, which black people are, their crybaby hurt feelings demand to regulate others ends where the right to free speech begins

want to blanket ALL uses of friend of the family, nigga, my negro, etc as hate speech and ban them? then let american blacks start the ball rolling by no longer using the word with hostility against african immigrant blacks, and even among each other in brotherly tone. as we all know here, ironic racism is still racism. but they're not going to do that and it is political suicide to ask them to do that. why is that, OP?

i didnt think you could be run off by 4chan because they all post anonymously. they are all wearing those guy fawkes masks at their computers all the time. occasionally one of them posts a "dank meme" and strokes the chin of the mask in satisfaction

it isn't a word rooted in history, a history of varying levels of privilege, of oppressors and the oppressed? when someone whose family was never part of the communist party is called a communist, they don't have a right to be annoyed?

nah, sorry. history is objective truth, and there is a closer comparison to be made here than there is between friend of the family and something like 'boat'

but look at you, SJW, how you're so terrified of critical thought, how you're incapable of addressing an argument fairly, calmly, rationally and spelling out like an adult why it "triggered" you. no surprise, with all that red text next to your post, that you're both unfunny and braindead. go back to tumblr.
