I only speak Swahili, Shona, Kirundi, and Black English. Thanks to Kevin, I am tired of being an appreciatively assimilated Black American relegated to Swahili birth names, African garb, and Ebonics. I am now unappreciative and say to hell with the Queen's English.

Nah, Kevin is not even remotely KKK material. He has a different opinion rooted in what many would consider prejudices unintentionally conducive to racist ideologies and racist institutions. However, just as I stopped spelling America with a KKK, I do not insult people who engage in these types of honest discussions by spelling their name with a KKK. Kevin can "respectfully kiss my ass" and whatever else I typed to him without the KKK reference.

Oh snap, Smithfield!

This is just like any other circumstance in which people can use liberated voices and purchasing power to speak out.** Everyone doesn't have to agree with the perceived offense or outcome but enough people have to agree and the right (that isn't a typo, not "white") people have to agree.

**It is interesting that quite a few power minority groups around the world eventually speak out against perceived injustices (Jews, LGBT, etc.). Only certain power minority groups are told to relax and to not use their voice and purchasing powers to protest and potentially get money makers shut down. That is one of the reasons why social change is so difficult. The power dominant groups are still the ones who determine whether the concerns and potential for social change are worthwhile and valid (for example, people in this thread saying "talk about Mandela instead" and "this is glitching").
