Which is what the sleazy liberals did in order to elect Obama.

That is the way I see it. Not to mention that it is childish, and only feeds into the stereotypes.

The rest? They are insults and unfortunately, there are people like the white men in the story, who feel entitled to call people these disgusting names based on what they look like or who they are (fat or gay).

So what is your point in bringing this up?

As usual, people who don't want to believe racism and white privilege exist sputter violently, "B-b-b-but, people are called these names tooooooo."

Listen, its all wrong and if this story was about an affluent overweight person being harassed in the same manner as the boy in the story, I would be just as angry as I am now.

But its not about gay people or overweight people in this thread. Its about minorities. Now that it has been acknowledged that people can be jerks to others due to differences, can we please stay on topic here? The deflection that happens in these threads is ridiculous already.
what 'white men' in the story

Using the N word, the odds are high that they are Black.
Blacks use the N word way more than whites.

So if a Black drives by and yells the N word is that discrimination ?
Maybe if the black kid is actually "white."

He did his children no favors by sheltering them too much from the realities of life. If that kid is so horrified and living in constant fear after being called the n-word just once in his life, he's not going to make it through the rest of his life without being a basket case.

Rule number one: Life is unfair. There will always unpleasant people in this world that you must learn to deal with.

For the record, I still hear far too many black people casually using the n-word. So until blacks wash their own mouths out with soap they need to stop pretending to be so offended when the occasional white douchebag says it.

interesting.

the "n####r" drive by is damn near a right of passage for the average Black person...

fortunately most of us were raised outside of a bubble and laughed it off because driving by and screaming racial epitaphs is a sign of weakness.

Lol^^ This guy... What's pathetic is your "types" view that black people say this word so I should be able to say it... Pathetic is living in a bubble and believing someone's ignorance shouldn't have consequences. It might be easy to spew your hatred online but in the real would a racial slur would most likely get a racist into a confrontation that might not end well for them... To each his own I guess...
