If one cannot gain an education, he should probably take up employment that does not require one. People don't know what words mean there. They use feelings to define the meaning of a word. If a word feels like it should be bad, then it is bad. If the word feels good, then it must mean something good.
Politicians are experts at using words that feel good but mean nothing at all in reality.
The word that everyone is arguing about these days is nigger. There are a lot of words out there which are racial slurs and they are used by all races. These words include white trash, nigger, spic, wop, whitey, Chink, Jap, beaner, gringo, Polack, kraut, slant eyes, coonass, redskin, WASP, wetbacks, yellow, honky, coon etc., etc. Now, if a nigger is a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons, it could be used to describe anyone of any color who is socially disadvantaged. Perhaps I am.
