    Apparently there is because the post clearly states that there is a possibility a volunteer might hear that word but it not be intentionally racist. You’re completely ignoring that half the message is ‘evaluate and determine if it is ignorance or racism’.

      You’re completely ignoring what I’m actually saying to keep pushing your own narrative. I specifically stated they may be ignorant of the origin of the n word, but you know that. That’s why you and these other racists keep harping on that and not addressing the issue of racist depictions. Ya’ll are so obvious, I could almost laugh.

        Because the issue isn’t racist depictions. It’s a lack of education and a focus on intolerance instead of actually employing the sympathy you are demanding. Nobody is arguing the word or imagery is fundamentally racist in origin. We’re saying they honestly don’t know about that so need education. That’s the context you are ignoring to go on your black knight crusade.

        You are the exact opposite of what the Peace Corps is asking their members to be. Hear the offensive word and you go on a rage fueled violent rant about how racist they are being instead of taking a deep breathe, looking at the situation and realizing they only use the word because it is the only one they know. Simply taking the time to inform them of how hurtful the word/imagery is without being a salty bitch about it is how fences are mended.

          Again, you’re the one focusing on the word and continuing to outright ignore the comment about racist depictions. Again, ya’ll are very obvious, especially “black knight.” Ya’ll are racist Trash and full of shit to boot.

              Your point that you keep talking about the n word and that isn’t even what the focus was? Really what is your point? You’re a racist who finds racism acceptable and is deeply offended that anyone would point out that being racist makes you a shitty person? That your point?

                You’ve already proven my point. No need to keep piling on evidence. You can just stop and reflect now on anything you’re unclear about as it’s all a simple re-read.
