Something else to bear in mind,

Hitler died and the nazis were removed from power.

Pol Pot lost power.

Stalin died and the communists have gone.


White people are still the dominant demographic globally. We still have most of the money and most of the power and black people are stiill struggling to be accepted at our table.


In Rwanda, the word "Cockroach" was used by Hutu's to describe Tutsis, and "cockroaches" had to be exterminated.

Only the most cruel person would go to Rwanda and make comments about "cockroaches".

If a Hutu person made comments about Cockroaches, there would be no telling a tutsi to whom it was directed that he shouldn't let it bother him, or he had a chip on his shoulder, or "This is PC gone mad".

You have to digest the enormity of what the word "nigger" represents.

It stands for Hundreds of years of displacing, abusing and murdering millions of human beings in the most repugnant and horrific ways.

It is not a word to be used gratuitously.

Whitey is nothing but an empty quip.
