Say her name. She deserves it

Well then, if you can find it on wikipedia it must be true.

What specific issues do you have with the wikipedia article? Are you claiming that linguistic re appropriation doesn’t exist?

…only for some. I can’t think of a word that I felt the need to…re-appropriate?

@WildRose

You are seriously asking me to provide a link to a story that could get me banned because of the language?

Not gonna happen.

No, I’m asking you for a link to the story where the father says he was with his daughter when the shooting happened. I’ve looked and can’t seem to find it.

BTW, none of the articles I’m reading include the claim that the father was present during the shooting.

Consider yourself lucky, or most likely, privileged.

Yeah…I know. Hard work…is a privilege. Saying, “I will” and then actually keeping that oath is a privilege. Getting up, every morning at 5:00 and starting work…is a privilege. Honoring debts of need, while sacrificing my wants…is a privilege. Telling the truth is a privilege. Being punctual…ok, ok, ok…ignore that one.

Not saying this deserves death but… why yell a racial slur at all? Whoever said that probably deserved their ass beat but not death.

Also, just because some says black lives matter, does not mean they are a PART of the BLM organization.

How is saying all lives matter a slur? They need their ass beat for saying that?

I can’t even begin to express how far off the rails that is!

[WildRose]

Nobody “yelled a slur”.

[WildRose]

Hard work means nothing, you’re just lucky.

The N word was said by the group the murdered woman was a part of. That’s what started the altercation.

It was said according to the boyfriend’s story in the article you didn’t read.

No. It has to do with not being part a group that was enslaved and had racist names used against them for hundreds of years.

[WildRose]

No where in any of the stories is it being reported it was shouted by or at anyone, it was said in conversation among one group and someone in another group overheard it and took umbrage with it and started a confrontation.

@WildRose

I didn’t realize a race could “take” much less “take back” a word.

The language belongs to us all or it used to.

Feel free to say it as much as you want.

Why did this woman think “All Lives Matter” was an appropriate response to “Black Lives Matter”?

Well that is a word i would never use but it doesn’t give anyone the right to murder someone.

If that claim is even true to start with.

According to the boyfriend.

Thanks for finally understanding the story. It wasn’t “all lives matter” that started the altercation. It was the N word.

Of course this is according to the boyfriends of the murdered woman. I’d love to hear the other side.

[WildRose]

Why would I start using a word now I find offensive?

What is wrong with it? It seems a fine thing to say. I would say all lives matter including the unborn myself.

Don’t see why that should anger anyone.
