  The term "******" (excuse me, to anyone who is offended
  by that word--me included) isn't derogatory until some
  bigoted person uses it against another person, either.
  No hazard, at all, in being honest.
 
 Of course it's derogatory, no matter who uses the word.
Pure BS....... words mean nothing!!!  It's the racist asshole behind the
words you need to be concerned with.  Remember the phrase "Sticks and stones
may break my bones, but names will never hurt me?"  I am more concerned with
the sticks and stones!!!!!
