Not non sequitur, as I responded exactly to your point. And I'm not surprised you dodged it.
That is fair about he N word, not many in my life agree with me either. And if society wants to cut that word out of our existence, so be it. Should we burn Huckleberry Finn books? That would help society forget the word. Wouldn't?
When people say the "N" word, everyone thinks NIGGER. Yes, I capitalized, because that is what you know and everyone else knows the word means. The word is repulsive, but to delegate to the "N" word, IMO, denigrates the true meaning of the word. You say "N", everyone thinks nigger. The word is still there. It will always be there. It will always be apart of American history. Saying "N", doesn't change that fact. Because you and I, and everyone else, knows what "N" means.
We need to stop thinking of each other as pigment. We are human. I have dated a few white girls, a black girl, a couple of Asian girls, and Indian girl and now I am with who I will not talk about, however, they were all women, beautiful women. I never looked at their pigment.
The only people I see focused and so does the woman I'm with, is liberals. The people in mainland America don't care about the liberal racist crap. They are dating people from different "races", they have friends from different "races" and guess what, oh my gosh, they have things in common, especially the ones who grew up in America.
I am so sick of liberal racism talk. You have no idea what is it like in real life.
