#BB16 7:07PMBBT: Zach made a comment that included the word "******". Cody and Hayden were talking over him so it was hard to hear exactly what was said. Frankie steps up, "Here's my philosophy, I have been called horrible things. I have been called a ------, told I hope you kill yourself and I hope you die of AIDS... Like horrible things right. In my event, I have cried over it, had horrible times over it and I personally have decided that, like, not to give the words power over my life, anymore. You know I am like, I have kind of made myself numb to it but, that is my personal philosophy, my personal opinion. I don't want to speak for anyone else on this planet but, in an ideal world I would like that word to have no power over anyone and honestly with any kind of slurs I always feel it is about the intent behind the word. If you are saying it to be mean, and malicious and are like F you then you deserve to be punished! But if you are saying it not with that intention.... " Zach adds "We aren't saying it with that intention!" Frankie continues "I am not speaking for anyone else but for me personally, I have been called it too many times for it to hurt me any more. I am stronger than that word." The last part he speaks very firmly. His tone became serious. Donny adds "You are not trying to say it's ok!" Frankie says again says it doesn't have power over him and he is not speaking for everyone.
This made ha iconic IMO
