I retweeted
@JPBarlow using offensive language in a sarcastic tweet that was meant to slap back at racists after Obama's first election. Eh, not my best retweet, even if the intentions, both mine and Barlow's, were in the right place.16 replies 9 retweets 44 likesShow this thread -
I used a variation of offensive language to talk about questions of tone. I really wasn't comfortable using the word directly, so I didn't. I was trying to make a point, but something else would have made that point better. So, also not my best tweet.

You were powerful today. You changed at least one person's life, and if I'm honest, my family's too. It feels good to be powerful. But this power doesn't go away. It doesn't evaporate when you use it without thinking, or at the wrong person.
