    uh yeah. ya do. thats where the word originated and its a slur for african americans. anyone would agree. i've never heard ANYONE use that word for anyone else

  • @Breejja

    I'm not black, so that word means nothing to me, and your misplacement of it shows how much of a dumb shit you are. stuff it unless you have something legitimate to say.
