            If you're going to put something up to try to divide, at least put up the other meaning as well. Idiots.
            Stop with the one sided meanings or definitions.

            "The slur is also used by some Native Americans against whites: "moon" as in pale, and "cricket" as in whites have big eyes and gangly legs. Whites also make annoying sounds like crickets."

                        Why is stating what slaves were referenced as, that is still used today divisive? Im so tired of people crying division when white folks get called out for bad behavior.

                            Its really as simple as this, there is good in everyone no matter the color. I am white and I've grew up with very many African cousins and most of them act better than some white people. if you cant be willing to look at the truth then your just a moron. no matter the color of your skin you still have dreams and thoughts and needs just the same as your neighbors and friends, and family. yall all just some ol racist mfs on here. martin luther king jrs looking down on you right now saying your doing great job at keeping the peace
