No black person reclaiming the word would use it the way you did. No gay person would say, "Fvck those subhuman faggots," and mean it.

The word alone has no power and never did, how it's used and the meaning it's used with does. You specifically used it to invoke the hateful, disgusting sentiments that, whether we have an black President or not, continue to make it difficult for blacks to be equal members of society. You can't hide behind apologies, retractions, and claims of progression of the term when you've clearly used it in the most regressive way possible.

Inexcusable no matter how hatefully anyone may have acted in voting. Turnabout is NOT fair play.
