Quite obviously I did not. I responded that I hadn't heard the term "black" ever used as a racial slur, though I had heard every one of the others listed. Nor have I heard "white" used as a racial slur, though I have heard many slurs.
There is a lot to be discussed, and the rest of my post is very long. Chill out...everyone else seems to be interested in discussion. What's the problem?
