    He wanted sources and I gave them. Done deal.

    As for the slur, was it my best judgement? No. But I was speaking from the heart

      I hope there comes a time where your passion does not need slurs to be expressed in a way you feel best represents your feelings in the heat of the moment.

      That’s not a joke or anything. Passion can be great and cathartic. It’s a shame then that it can so often be marred by internalized hatred, and I genuinely hope that changes for not just you, but all of us.

        As someone who grew up with a debilitating learning disability, I definitely don’t have internalized hatred toward people who, honestly, I consider to be “my own kind” for lack of better words. I could go on but I think that’s about all I really need to say on the matter

          You might think so but internalized hatred doesn’t just have to be aimed at others. Internalized self-hatred is real, and it doesn’t have to manifest as outward, malicious vitriol projected at others.
