    If I'm talking the same way I've been talking for over 2 years and now suddenly people have an issue with it, maybe the problem isn't me, maybe it's people getting offended with things that aren't offensive.

    Sounds like something someone from the 1960's would say when they use to call a set group of people the "n" word. Times change and what you might call someone today may not be acceptable tomorrow.

    Another person misconstruing something to twist it around to fit their agenda.

    Its no secret that people today are much more sensitive than they used to be.

    And really? Comparing what he said to segregation? That's just grasping at straws.

    People shouldn't need to censor themselves because other people can't handle it. Especially when the person isn't even insulting that person. They are just indirectly getting offended for no reason.

    I just don't understand the argument you are trying to make.

    EDIT : Just to be clear there are obvious exceptions, but i guess i feel i should list them since someone my try to misconstrue my words.

    If someone is openly being racist, or homophobic or whatever. Even if indirectly, then that is different. But if its something harmless like "That fight was cancer" "This post gave me aids" its just a dark humored joke. And sure not everyone shares the same humor. But that's no reason to get bent out of shape and whine about it. There are many tools to stop you from seeing things you don't like.

    Use them.
