I can tell you with no uncerainty whatsoever. Every Black civic leader would be up in arms. And my favorite opportunist, Al Sharpton would be leading the charge; with all of them screaming "race".
Well, in Reverend Al's favor - he has come out strongly against blacks using the word, too.

I know he's an opportunist - but I still kinda like him. He understands more than the immediate issue (whatever it might be), but the root of the problem that started the issue. He is capable of complex thought. I like and admire that.

But, he is an opportunist, no question.
