No, they perceive themselves to be martyrs to the one and only true holy cause.

Good thing that I'm not PC. I continue to talk as I always have. I continue to call the birds and fish that have had their names changed by their original names. Free speech so I really don't care. Call me what you want to because I don't care! I'm not offended by that. I hate football and pretty much all sports but I will still call any team, whos name was changed because some SJW got offended, by their original name.

These wack jobs need to get outside more so their skin will thicken up a bit. This cowering in mommy's basement looking for anything to get offended by while living a fake life in virtual reality has made them soft. Too easily offended!

We need to add "nasty" to the list of racial slurs. I learned that when I said that Kamala Harris was "nasty," and was told I was being racist. (Of course, I also say that Hillary is nasty, so I suppose I'm racist against white people too.)

It will be HORRIFIC if we end up with a President Harris. Not only will her radical left policies destroy the country, but any criticism of her will be chalked up to racism.

Welp, I have no intention of adjusting my vocabulary to the whims of the "woke." And I figure they don't get to judge my heart, my mind, or my intentions towards others, and they don't get to attach a "racist", or any other label on me, or any other individual they don't even know, or know nothing about.

I don’t seek to offend nor take offense.
So, in the south anyway, a cakewalk is used often as a fundraiser at schools and churches.

Well, nasty is as nasty does and if they call you a racist, remember how very blunt a weapon they themselves have made the word. A knife that simply will no longer cut through warm butter.

What is sad is that you don't even have to try and offend these people, they are on autopilot offended all the time and looking for something to be offended about. Your everyday life, your actions and anything you say will do.

So I figure the best way to handle this nonsense is to ignore it. Unless someone is deliberately acting to antagonize someone else ( like the antifa "protestors" attacking bystanders, counter-demonstrators on the street or in establishments, destroying property), I figure that if someone finds offense in another's everyday actions, their beliefs, political perspectives or their words, it's really the problem of the offended.

^^^ This. If no one knows the origins of these terms, how are they having such a dramatic negative effect?

And “buried hatred”, lol. If it’s buried, and not out there in your face, who is feeling it?
