Heck, I told my coworker not to use it just last week. JuanPa retweeting that and saying he loved it isn't about not being a fan of his. And the English as a second language thing is getting old.

He did, however, explain that the "r" word is used to mean uneducated and, if you read the piece of the paragraph that shows, it can be taken in that context. And, he he didn't say he loved the word but the paragraph. I personally do not take offense here, and I do believe that I am as easily offended as anyone by slurs of any kind.

He is followed by thousands of English speaking people. He needs to THINK before he tweets these things as they are offensive to many. Just because he associates it with "uneducated" doesn't make it right. Maybe I'm just really sensitive about that particular word as a special ed worker. It's not okay, never okay. And he should be smart enough not to retweet something that uses it. And if he doesn't realize it's offensive, he should educate himself on that topic.

Witty, but sadly true.

I'm amazed at the amount of time some spend trolling Juan Pablo's twitter mentions and then reporting on it. Imagine if that time and energy were directed in a more meaningful way? Of course I fully support a everyone's right to spend their time as they see fit.  :cutesmile!:

You mean like educating high school kids and teaching them that the r word is not allowed to be uttered in the school, and ESPECIALLY towards another person. That's what I spend my time doing. Only reason I know about this is a friend who follows him mentioning it to me because of the nature of my job.

I guess this is what I get for trying to bring to light why some have issues with JuanPa. Clearly I should just keep my opinion to myself.

Absolutely not. Your opinions are as worthy as anyone else's and you made a good point. My comment about witches has to do with the massive pile-up of vitriol flowing onto JPa.

Some should just walk a mile in JPs shoes ..

They have more pics February so that's when they posted stills they were given.  The most recent pic - with the ring  on it has this caption:
Enjoy a romantic ride along Honeymoon Beach...let her know she is "The One"

Can you move that over here?  I don't know how.

This one?

Thank you!    This is the one that when clicked on has this caption:

It doesn't say anything to do with saying "let her know she is "the one"" It says to let her know she is special is what it says.

Like it has been said here #keep it real
