Oh, Kobe.. What The Fag?

Either a game face or a think too damn hard face.

It seems men can't just be men anymore. Whether gay, straight, transgendered or what ever. It seems us females can be brash enough to call each other "fags" without GLAAD or LGBT requesting that I apologize. Or hell, I'm not even getting fined for it.
I feel Kobe Bryant's apology, which was sorta laced as a 'i'm sorry for offending anyone'. Which should be his apology. He might've caved in the end and apologized to all those groups but the bottom line is he shouldn't. I understand that the word was used as a homophobic slur, but now I feel people are getting way too sensitive about things.

I remember when I was elementary school. The school was predominately black as am I. I had a pretty cool fourth grade teacher named Mr. Flowers. I remember calling someone a 'fag' not really knowing that it could be meant for homosexual person nor did I really know what a homosexual was. I always thought of it meaning weak minded or being a pussy about something. He sat me down to look up the definition in the dictionary and I still remember it because I think I wrote it like a hundred times.

faggot- a branch, or twig or bundle of sticks.

No where did it mention that it means homosexual and nor did I think it did mean that. I don't like this huge censorship that we all have to deal with. You can't say 'gay', 'fag', 'faggot', 'retard'...And I understand it is a real condition of someone being mentally retarded.  In the past we had television show's like "All in the Family", "Good Times", and my personal favorite "SOAP". Where they were able to say all types of things without any super huge big issue. These shows existed because people had a sense of humor about themselves. And not put such a high ridiculous value to words.

I hate it when these organizations and others whom like to say that those words are the same as being called nigger. Well, if it is own it and use it for your own. Stop complaining when a straight person does it. It only proves a point. There was a period of time where these words didn't bother nor effected the gay community and it really didn't seem that long ago. I feel these organizations should focus on other more important things like why are homosexual wrestlers or sport's figures ever highlighted or receive far treatment? Yet we are concerned that Kobe Bryant called a ref a " fucking faggot".  Maybe he was being a fag. Doesn't mean he's gay. Stop trying to censor the world because honestly we can't stop every white person from saying the word 'nigger' so get over it and move on.
