I don't care who or when it was said!

I think that is the responsibility of everyone to know when they say a racist word! "Lynching" is racist word. No one should ever use this word, NO BODY EVER! Once you say it, you own it! It is time for everyone to think before they spew out words that hurt others. Whether it was 1889, 1998 or 2019, it was than and is now is detrimental to everyone.
