The word is being over use and it is losing its meaning!

I see what you are implying there.
It sure is used here more, and by a very few I might add, surely not the majority. Some even label others racist's in non- coherent rants when you disagree with their way of thinking. Hell some even believe , in their immature minds, that "everyone" that has picked the opposite fork in the road wears a KKK robe and carries a torch in one hand and a noose in the other. These are people that you cannot have an honest and viable, or intelligent for that matter, conversation with, these are the angry ones, these are the self righteous, self appointed "saviors". Pitiful really, pitiful.
Colorful words from a keyboard it seems are the only weapons against hate, racism and bigotry, while they sit on their hands decrying that "no one is doing enough". Please, get away from that keyboard, walk a actual mile in others shoes, and tell them they are not doing enough. Generalizations
I know many people and have plenty of friends that walk the same roads, but take different paths. Sometimes we come to a fork and take the path we think is the right one, that's always a good thing. Big difference is, with an open mind while traveling those paths they have plenty of time to think, to take in the "scenery", and they eventually meet down the road, and walk the same road, friends again, and talk about what they have seen on their paths, it's rational and never self absorbing.
It's very different here for some.
