There for eliminating any racial slurs.

2018-10-17 03:37:36 UTC  

Words change meanings all the time.

2018-10-17 03:37:40 UTC  

Why not do it to racial slurs.

2018-10-17 03:37:43 UTC  

The US constitution was based off of the Iroquois constitution

2018-10-17 03:37:54 UTC  

I just don’t like how it’s anti fun

2018-10-17 03:37:59 UTC  

They'll just pick new ones

2018-10-17 03:38:02 UTC  

Does that count

2018-10-17 03:38:08 UTC  

What would racist call people they hate then? If the racial slurs start to mean something positive.

2018-10-17 03:38:11 UTC  

oh you can’t wear this or that for halloween cuz it’s cultural appropriation

2018-10-17 03:38:40 UTC  

All those words developed organically

2018-10-17 03:38:44 UTC  

Eh, I don't understand why we give certain insults the designation of "slurs." That's just giving words power over us as we deem them completely unacceptable

2018-10-17 03:38:44 UTC  

Eliminate Racism by taking away their voices.

2018-10-17 03:38:47 UTC  

They will continue to do so

2018-10-17 03:38:58 UTC  

I actually did that with one group of humans in a story I worked on since I was tiny

2018-10-17 03:39:21 UTC  

I couldn’t explain what each word became for the story because those words still carry weight

2018-10-17 03:39:33 UTC  

It would be much harder for them to speak from a platform if the words they use as racial slurs is changed into something positive.

2018-10-17 03:39:42 UTC  

They would in the end, be complimenting the race they hate.

2018-10-17 03:39:43 UTC  

XD

2018-10-17 03:39:43 UTC  

eliminate racism by stop making everything about race

2018-10-17 03:39:56 UTC  

No, they'd just form or choose different words

2018-10-17 03:39:57 UTC  

That too Moist.

2018-10-17 03:40:10 UTC  

Racial slurs may be bad

2018-10-17 03:40:11 UTC  

But

2018-10-17 03:40:13 UTC  

Moist

2018-10-17 03:40:17 UTC  

Keep co-opting their racial slurs.

2018-10-17 03:40:20 UTC  

another thing is

2018-10-17 03:40:20 UTC  

Is a word that everyone hates

2018-10-17 03:40:26 UTC  

Like, in the time it takes for your ploy to work, they'll just move on

2018-10-17 03:40:26 UTC  

We can all agree

2018-10-17 03:40:31 UTC  

They would be helping us expand our dictionary.

2018-10-17 03:40:47 UTC  

We could name experiences that has no name.

2018-10-17 03:40:50 UTC  

That is beyond human language.

2018-10-17 03:40:53 UTC  

XD

2018-10-17 03:41:03 UTC  

It's kind of like how "black" is more offensive than "African American" is especially sensitive circles

2018-10-17 03:41:21 UTC  

it’s hard to see people as individuals instead of associating them with various cohorts

2018-10-17 03:41:25 UTC  

Did you know the N word means black in Latin.

2018-10-17 03:41:43 UTC  

It's reversing now as people are starting to realize "African American" makes no sense

2018-10-17 03:41:46 UTC  

Somewhere along the line, it was co-opt as a racial slur.

2018-10-17 03:41:53 UTC  

cuz you are in a way representing the groups you associate with

"Negro" was a neutral term in the mid 20th-century, IIRC
