There’s currently a debate raging as to whether a teenager should be allowed to call her dog Negro. Actually, some people are so annoyed Twitter user @rebeca_macias18 named her missing hound the Spanish word for black they have suggested it should be changed. But the anger towards her seemed a bit unfair as she’s from Mexico, so speaks Spanish, and was not trying to offend anyone.
@rebeca_macias18 negro is missing😢 please if anyone sees him message me!!!
Some social media users argued she should have known how insensitive the word, which has been used to disparage black people in America, was. This Twitter user seemed to suggest the word should be changed even though it wasn’t supposed to refer to a person’s skin colour
@BeautiFul_JaA First of all the fact that negro is used in Spanish as a color is racist asf. The end https://twitter.com/priscillux/status/955264581730906112 … 3:15 AM - Jan 22, 2018

“The US should immediately build more mental asylums. Places to put these LIB lunatics are hard to come by now.”
That’s interesting because they want to do the same thing to conservatives, but only until the death camps are ready.
First one done “wins”.
During the Iraq War, my sister had an outside cat that she named “Uday”. She wasn’t a fan of Saddam Hussein, she just thought it was a funny name. Both of us have a strange sense of humor.
There was a time when Uday got lost. I happened to be at her house and offered to help find him.
I admit, I felt kind of strange walking around the neighborhood calling “Uday!” The neighbors probably thought that we had lost it.
They ought to take a canoe trip on the Niger river - Africa is racist!!!!
Go into Home Depo or Lowes and look at the paint isle, a can of black paint has both BLACK and NEGRO printed on it.
