Message: <blockquote data-quote="Casey K." data-source="post: 67669" data-attributes="member: 1090"><p>Yes that is the definition now but the old definition (had this definition in it as well) had to do with a "sorry" or "lazy" "ignorant" person.  That was the "main" definition of the word.  I do know its origin and I am VERY familiar with my history.  I don't like hearing it, nor do I use it, however, if we change definitions to words and come up with new words to add to the dictionary, aren't we the reason the definition is what it is today?  So the definition of it meaning "ignorant" or "sorry/lazy" person is the incorrect definition and the definition that defines a dark skinned person is correct?</p></blockquote><p></p>
