So...

The next time you want to be "funny"

Take a second.

Ask yourself,

is owning another human being EVER funny?

Is the kidnapping, beating, breaking, humiliating and torturing of another human a good source for late night banter?

And oh yes,

before you tell me that using the word is ok because rappers and such use it all the time,

Save it.

I don't want to hear that shit.

Them not knowing who they are DOES NOT give you the right to exploit their ignorance and victimize us as a people. Because that's what you do every time you use that bloody, hate filled word.

I'm done.

With this

And with you.

Sincerely,

P. Cook
