*Edit:
Forgot to put 'not'

There's also the fact that these idiots have no idea what the race of the person they're throwing these words at actually is. Me and my friends have all had the word slung at us and most of us are white.

These are just kids that thing they're badass because they're doing something they're not supposed to. That's the main reason most kids swear so much, or smoke, or any other number of stupid things. Because they think doing something they're not supposed to makes them cool.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
