Students, faculty and community members united Wednesday in a town hall dedicated to giving Black students a chance to speak after a white teacher at Decatur High School openly used a racial slur on Dec. 7 in front of students. #Nword #MetroAtlanta #BlackMastodon

@statsguy For my sins, I used to work on content and comment #Moderation for #ABCNews local sites - Because the generally vile commentors weren't allowed to use racial slurs, the trend at the time was to use "Illegals" in the same way as they'd have used the #NWord 50 years earlier.

I hated that moderation role more than any I have ever had, it was crawling through rotting mental sewage - But yeah, I see any mention of #illegals or #IllegalImmigrants as a #Racist dog-whistle now.
