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…

so using offensive language is more important than groups of people’s feelings to you. Okay. It isn’t your place to deem what is and is not offensive. You are not entitled to justify and declare what is good enough to qualify as a harmful term. Instead of fighting for the freedom to use harmful language why not care about the people being offended?
