Most of them have multiples, in different names.

We should ask leftists if illegal alien Russians can vote in sanctuary cities? LOLOL
I have a friend from Chicago who routinely uses “spook” in place of “African American.” He’s over 70, but I doubt that the term is used much by young people.
Liberals with too much time own their hands and not enough productive work to do.
His hyperinsensitivity has triggered my arachnaphobia.
I spooked a couple of the 20-something young ladies in our office right out of their skins a few years ago with a similar comment. The remark was made in jest towards an older coworker who had spent a good part of his career in Central Europe with extensive travel behind the Iron Curtain. This was all ordinary business travel in an obviously challenging part of the world, but the amused supposition of an intelligence angle was an ongoing joke. Everyone over about age 35 understood perfectly, but the young people had never heard of the usage.
NPR is acting very niggardly with its use of pronouns and adjectives.
Yep. See tagline.
You're spookin' me out, man... .
The fewer words they are allowed to use, the more niggardly they will have to be with their language.

“because not knowing is not an excuse.” - Did anyone know what “macaca” was before George Allen said it? Did he?
“Leah Donnella of the race and identity reporting team Code Switch wrote last year that “spook” has history as an anti-black slur, at least when used in the context of race.”
Many years ago, during Obumbler’s reign, my big boss’ daughter (black) was appointed as ambassador to Djibouti. My immediate boss (white) and I were talking about that, and I casually said that I wasn’t sure that being appointed to an ambassadorship to a shithole was all that much of an honor. He correctly pointed out that the US has important listening stations there to watch the Arabs and Chinese. I agreed with him that he was right, and in fact I said, the ambassador might not even be the chief of station, given that the place must be full of spooks. He, being a lib, but from Virginia, instantly thought I was talking about blacks and started to admonish me. He then realized that we had been talking about spies, and changed the subject to the US embassy in Venezuela when he had been working there.
I love it when libs give themselves ulcers over minutia.
i really don’t recall having been aware of that context until I just read it hear.
Meanwhile, Sarah Jeong posts dozens of tweets which are unmistakably racist and bigoted, and NPR judges that story to be unimportant. When I see hypocrisy like that, I’m spooked.
