Search Results: using the word love

Yes. This is a cleaner version. I was at a Georgia at South Carolina football game in 2018 in Columbia, South Carolina and saw a little girl wear a T-shirt that read 'I <3 Cocks' and thought to myself, how could a dad or mom put a shirt like this on their daughter. The message seemed too dirty and odd. The heart symbol was used for love. These shirts are for toddler girls. Of course, I know it was in reference to the South Carolina Gamecocks but it just seemed a bit too strange to use the word Cocks and not Gamecocks. She was like 4 years old so it was strange and I found out they showed her on camera on television when I watched the replay of the game when I got home. For the record, I was rooting for the Georgia Bulldogs and they won 41-17. They lost last year in double overtime 20-17 but Georgia still leads the all-time series 51-19-2

If it was just a picture and not the word listed, then I'd not think about it. This was on my mind when I saw a similar thing yesterday when needing to travel to Columbia, where I might be staying for 3 months starting in a few weeks.

Anyways, do you think this is better in pink or in black?

I'm black & I hear this a lot in the black community. Even my own family does this. They'll be talking about a negative topic, then they'll say something like:

• "Yeah, white people do that shit!"
• "You will only see those white people doing that."
• *sigh* "White people."

When they're serious and are not joking around, I always feel kinda weird. Most of the time, their conclusions are based on their personal opinions rather than statistical evidence. And I don't think they'd want white people doing the same to them. If the races were reversed, most black people would see those as racist things to say.

So, is this a good or bad way of speaking? Should people replace some of the words used? Or maybe stop entirely? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. 🙏
