That word hurts, I hated it when people called me a Spic growing up.

So maybe if we stop rapping it, using it in our movies, our comedic sets & general talk, we could make a stronger case for being outraged

It's amazing how many people see that as normal nowadays.

It's weird. My parents and most of my frienfriends' parents growing up taught us that that word was the worst word in the world.
I still don't use it.
Who are the folks who weren't taught that?
The problem is not rap or blk ppl saying it to each other. I think the focus here is it’s an adult word being used causally in school

It has to be removed from our community mouths first. Other people will not take us seriously or respect us until We start respecting ourselves and each other. We must first stop calling each other that.

I don't fault the school its the dj or whomever is playing the music they're not supposed to play it, these kid's like those rap songs. And sometimes its hard to hear what's being said. Can't blame the school for everything parents need to step up.

Smh. Just like the music at Dinner in the Sky in Dubai. At 150 ft up in the sky I didn't hesitate to text the management on the ground to change the music. The minute I pressed send, the music changed. We don't have to tolerate that kind of disrespect. Never sit in silence
