it derives from a racial slur which means it is still harmful. Why is using that word more important to you than the people who are offended by it?

spooky was first brought into use in 1850. the slur spo*k wasn’t put into use into the 1940’s. in order for a word to derive from a slur, the slur would have had to come first. i literally cannot make this any clearer and you do not know what you’re talking about. 

I am not sure if that is true I will have to look it up. Anyways you still haven’t answered my question. People are offended by the word so why does using that word more important to you than their feelings?
