i was watching clerks two one day and the black couple got offended because he said the word porch monkey. i'm african american myself but i didn't know that term was a racial slur. i thought it meant someone who was lazy or just sits on thier porch most of time. i think it's stupid, that term shouldn't even be in the category for offensive words. i think people pay too much attention to these words and give them power and why is it referred to just black people? sooner or later we cant say anything without someone getting angry and wanting to fight. just like the n word, i don't like that word myself but i don't get all crazy and want to beat somebody up just because they say it. i'm not just talking about black people but all ethnicities because i'm quite sure every race has a racial slur. dont let the word control you, you control the word. (that last part sounded kind of lame but i had to find a way to end it)
