nobody that I am remotely close to has ever used that word in my presence.

In addition, I, and the people I know, have never attempted to draw any hateful analogies concerning people that are not of the same race as me.

Fuck, I never listen to this guy, but I've heard his name too much recently. He sounds like a fucking asshole.
