I understand this and I will share with you a bit of information. The ability to google has given people the misapprehension that information is knowledge. Anyone can get information. It's at your fingertips. Knowledge is, however, different. Knowledge is understanding that urban dictionary isn't a legitimate source to uncover information. You took the extra step and uncovered more information, which I respect. The last part is uncovering the origin of the offensive phrase and connecting it to modern utilization then explaining it to others.
Like myself, you are of an age and experience level to understand and realize the difference in these operational modalities. Others, not so much. And there is nothing wrong with this. The problem occurs when people are unwilling to take extra steps to seek knowledge and start name calling.
As we have seen here.
