And the amount of adults with a secondary education who aren't the least bit articulate is astounding.

Eh, you talk to "black people" like you talk to everyone else.  If you say something that offends them (just like is possible with everyone else) you apologize and learn.

Can't call women "broads" and "dames" anymore either.

Live and learn.



Sidenote: One friend from college (more a friend of a friend) recently posted on FB that if anyone says or does or jokes about ANYTHING racist he will unfriend and block them and to please not even talk to him in real life.    I *almost* asked him what happens if someone says something they don't even KNOW will offend him but it wasn't worth it because HE takes his racist UBER seriously.

Could use a little less of that extreme reaction too.

Maybe we can just teach and learn from each other and everyone will feel a little more comfortable that they aren't going to start a fight/argument all the time.
