Well that is interesting

So....

Isn't a fag in Britain a cigarette?
But in America it's offensive. So isn't it all relative to your locale?

Gypped was a common word where I grew up. So because it offends "some one" I'm supposed to not use it?

In the same fashion I call a woman a she/her, that offends her?

You buying this bullshit they selling?

I ain't buying it

but I also ain't going to HR with my union rep telling me they aren't going to be able to fully support me if this gets escalated.

I don't need to use any of those words to save my life. And as long as you tell me your pronouns BEFORE hand?

I can do it tell I get my pension

And I like I said you BETTER not give me any excuses when it's me and mines turn.

Right so going back to this original topic. I get that Whoppi is in the public eye, way different then the majority of us here. I just think it's ridiculous "today" that every word, come every day, my Brooklyn raised ass, is going to offend someone. Majority of how we was raised, grew up as kids, all you did was diss one another lol. From your mama jokes and on, was never ending.

I met this bug eyed hoe on the traps who got offended because I said fag. She told me I was mean and out of touch with the times. I said ok, you must have some fags in your circle or family huh? She said she couldn’t talk to me anymore and I told her cool, tell all the fags you know I have nothing against them!

Whoopi ain't do nothing wrong or said nothing wrong.

Trump and dem have not only SAID worse but done worse publicly

This is just people trying to stake claim and make their mark.

We gotta start doing the same.

I'm old Brooklyn like you, all this stuff is extra soft Charmin behavior and overblown and like I always try to tell the board...

Go talk to ACTUAL people who in those communities. They honestly don't give a sh*t and are ALSO tired of all this.

But it's too late to turn back now
