Is that a serious question? I just don't believe anyone can be that ignorant.

I know i will quote this wrong as i can't find the actual quote from MLK jnr.

No word is offensive. it only becomes offensive in regards to context and meaning, but it takes a strong man (or it doesn't take a strong man)to give it no meaning at all.

Or something like that.

It's a bit like "sticks and stones"
