  1. #Homeless is only a #slur for those who have turned good into a slur (think dogooder). For most, it has been desceiptive only. No value judgement. No charachter establishment. Words have #power. When we attack words, that's #meaningful. When we do so without #merrit, we reduce the power we have into meaningless bickering. It's #autocastration. One might bring forward the change from #homosexual to #gay, but that's #rewriting #history. Or rather, distorting history. /2

    "Our #young #fans are supposed to be able to look up to me as a #rolemodel, but tonight I fell far short of that #responsibility."

    — This smells like it was written by a PR firm, and this is not a serious expression of contrition

  3. They only finally admitted it was a slur a few years ago(!) It continued for many many years & was tolerated b/c "it means something else" yeah, right. Calling someone a f*gg*t-p*ssy is not derogatory at all. Seems they will not stop, even after being banned from seeing the game in person!

  4. #SexxyRed #underfire for #shocking #transphobic #lyrics.

    In a #video circulating the internet, the “#SkeeYee” the Trump loving #rapper was seen in the back of a car #rapping to a new #song using the #transphobic #slur “tr****.” While the unreleased song plays in the background, the rapper makes a conscious effort to emphasize the slur, only making matters worse.
