217. I will try this one more time, even thought it seems pointless to do so,
you can say whatever you please. But you might be perceived as being an *ss or worse given your choice of words. But since you seem down right intent to do as you please, than perhaps those who perceive the words as conveying something in additional to the literal words, well after this discussion I would have to say that perhaps thost inferences will not be far off the mark.

Heck, once the degree to which this is offensive to folks is pointed out to you and why, if your stubborness to be able to freely say racist crap to people in order to protect your right to say whatever you want to say, well one has to begin to think that perhaps some folks interpretations of what those words mean might be correct. Indeed you are saying that avoiding insulting folks by using Jim Crow era insults is an inconvenience to you, and if you deliver such an insult well it doesn't mean anything (except that you don't mind givin Jim Crow era insults to people, and that just might say something in and of itself. :shrug: )
