@free it doesn't even really make sense because it's a derogatory term for Arabs / middle easterners, not Africans.


The point remains: it can be offensive and there's no reason to use it.

yeah, whatever hapenned to Barao... I think he's officially done.

He was picking Sanders apart with body kicks, until Sanders got in the pocket, then it was over very quickly.

@Greg there was a D in there, not an N. Even if he was making a pun, which can't be proven, that does not hate speech make.
