16. IF you are seriously asking me that question

here's my answer. I hate that word. I'm not stupid. I know it's an article about racism. I can actually read, just so you know. Many articles dealing with racism have actually been written and read without using that word. The person who did that needs to be fired. Think of it this way, if you are able: If I call you a name that I know that is offensive, but then try to deflect my offensiveness by stating "I'm writing an article/making a point," or whatever bs reason that I could come up with, how would you answer the question, "Why are you angry?"
