    You know the far right has appropriated that word and used it the same way they refer to black people, right? We’ve abandoned it.

      I’ve not seen that, but should we just continue to let the far right steal and appropriate language, symbols, and icons? Why would the far right be opposed to that which their idols flaunt and openly utilize?

        They’ve always done it, they think they’re just entitled to. You can choose to continue using what they’ve stolen but you’ll end up getting lumped in with them sooner or later. IMO it’s not worth it.
