According to urban dictionary it's  a racist slur?

But prior to 30 seconds ago, no.

I think this is why I have so many problems here.  :)
Big culture difference.
This would also explain why so many here don't think Trump is a racist.

It seems to me that it's quite an old term which hasn't been used in general for a long time. I think the only problem here is an age difference.
I'm not who you think I am.

It is still used by those that don't want to use the "N" word. They mistakenly think it is not as bad.

If Berkeley hasn’t outlawed “shoeshine” & other similar words then it’s fine.

@CountValentine are you a full time equal rights activist or you're just obsessed with racism phobia so you decided to blog away about it??

Why not just give your input in areas this culture is interested in??

Trying to figure out how some can defend racist statements. I don't want to believe they are racist themselves.

That seems one sided. I am the minority.  :)

Is this the only thread we are allowed Sunday (fast day) popcorn on? Others seem to get deleted. Did the revolutionary guards infiltrate the ranks of DDF mods, deleting all Fast Day Popcorn.  >:(

I’ve been trying to keep @TimT from staying too hungry, but come back to find deletions.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
