Hello! I'm not going to name names or tag anyone in this thread. That is not the point of the thread. The point is:

Sometimes we all make mistakes. All of us. I have, you have, and we will all continue to. Recently, a young person made a mistake and has triggered many people.

As someone I like once recently said to me: "Jenn said: it's serious adult time."

It is serious adult time.

I have so much to say, and had to gather my thoughts, so please bear with me.

First and most importantly I want say: Nobody in this situation is 'wrong or bad.' There is not a good side and there is not a bad side. There are two sides that are hurting, and there is an understanding gap that needs bridged.

Second:

This thread is specifically about the use of the N word. If you are triggered by this, I would not proceed further.
