And regarding the word "master", do you think a black guy will get offended to get called a masterchief ? a chess master ? no way... It doesn't make any sense.

If you call your mother "mother", will she be mad? How about "motherfucker"? Compound words change meaning.
Why? CNN and CNBC are viewed by around 1-2 million people during prime time. There are literally Youtubers who do nothing but eat junk food who get more views than CNN [1]. Just because something is a big deal on CNN or Fox News doesn't mean it's actually a big deal.
The fact you give any credence, one way or the other, to what Whoopi Goldberg (???) says is more a reflection of your own values than a reflection of any kind of social collapse or the emergence of some kind of fascist regime. Oh no! An actress on day time television said something her advertisers didn't want her to say and now she's suspended for two weeks! This clearly is in indication of the power Antifa has on the media and our thoughts!
