DV 2015 Selectees from Ghana

F-Lan, I deleted a post because it contained a word that is considered offensive in most countries including the USA. I doubt you meant any harm by it, but it is a label/word that is best avoided - whatever the color of your skin.

I hope you understand.

Yes F-Lan I am glad you were cool about being "told off" :p

That is cool your phone recognized the word and tried to stop you using it. You may here the word in American too, often by African Americans within their music and groups of friends. However, I personally believe that it is better to remove the word from our vocabulary, so that in the future it won't be used as a hate word against anyone.
