ORIGINAL: TheLilSquaw OP, Race play, is enjoyed by many. Myself included. It doesn't make me a racist or mean that I don't respect myself or my ethnicity or my people's history. Or anyone else's. If race play offends you don't participate in it. If profiles which state they are looking for race play, or a racially based relationship bother you, hide them. Or have racial or ethnic nicks hide them. Words only have the power that we give them. Btw... I know many strong, black men who would say that the word that can't be used due TOS isn't a derogatory term. Some have told me that calling myself a squaw, is me not respecting my culture or people. Which is silly, because it wasn't a negative word until it was stolen and mis-used. All well and good except now, some of the words are being codified as hate speech.
