In reference to the OP specifically, I interpreted that to be Rightclaw saying he has no control over whether people on here are offended by the use of these terms or not, but that since the forum policy is to not allow it he can control changing or removing the word(s) if it is posted.

Beyond the specifics of the opening post: While you may be quoting a song, when I first read the thread I did not understand you to be quoting lyrics.

I also did not see the thread before Rightclaw had you edit it, but I am glad it was edited, because regardless of whether you are quoting a song or saying it yourself there are many people offended by the use of it, me included. Not only that word but other derogatory terms used to reference people based on ethnic, sexual or religious backgrounds and preferences.

And I personally don't think these type terms should be used even by the people who feel authorized to use them because it has a reference to their own ethnic, sexual or religious background.

Just my opinion.
