Poor,marginalized, low income, = ghetto. It’s literally the definition. I get feeling bad for poor people, but for fuck sake. How is it possible to be offended by a word…

I don’t belong to anything. Neither do you. You’re not a possession.

I am able to point to any word in the dictionary without being hurt or offended. Im starting to believe I have a superpower.

These types of conversations are important. Free yourself from the imaginary shackles and false pain of words. Stop telling people to change their words because you don’t like them. That’s childish.
