R3 do you remember when a write who used "niggardly" was chastised? The less-educated though it was a reference to their race.

shuttlecock

R19 The incident I remember involved an aide to the mayor of D.C. It wasn't the smartest thing to say; he must have known that it would cause confusion. It's a word we probably all learned in school but have almost never heard in conversation because of its similarity to the racial epithet.

Out of all the words that sound bad you just happened to pick two that sound like racist derogative hate speech. Out of the millions of words op. There has been an influx of very clearly hidden dog whistle threads today. All BLM or black related.

Today their has been a deliberate concentrated effort to create a rift between the gay and black community. Go take a look.
