It is interesting that whenever anyone has uttered the N word toward others or just as a disparagement that the deployment of the N word has never been for a positive or uplifting purpose. I will not go so far as to say that whenever the word bomb has been launched be it in private or in public that the verbal missle thrower was wishing a "death to al N people" or that the disseminator was wishing global and immediate elimination of all N people but I will say at the least so to speak that the person issuing the verbal negativity did not engage in the behavior to uplift the race !
So whether wishing the immediate end or declaring by the utterance the incremental, systemic and perpetual denigration- the desire (conscious or unconscious) to demean and devalue can not be contested.
We have forgotten how serious it was for folks at one time to deeply believe and to act for centuries upon the phrase that the only good Indian is a dead Indian.
We can not have double , triple, or more categories of moral measurement today.
All lives matter where ever we are on the planet.
