When I was 13, I started going to school with a large number of blacks and was shocked when they called each other the N word....but don't make the mistake of think you as a white male can use it.
I myself have never used that word once in my entire life. I never heard anyone in my family use it, either, or any of my friends. The first time I ever heard it was when I went off to college, and it was blacks using it. I too was shocked.

I have heard white men use the N word, I'm not bothered by it. Why? Optics and context matter when using the N word. If one is using the n word in the name of hate, and using the n word in a negative light, than someone must check the person. If some is using the n word poetically or literally, the context matter of what is being said. That is my 2 cents. Right now we live in an age where people have become way too sensitive. Rest in Peace Richard Prior and George Carlin.

Fully logical post and included 2 of my favorite comedians of all time, gonna have to rep you but I am concerned you might lose your Dem props throwing out so much logic.

For the record, I never use that word and if I did, my wife would freak out and get pissed as she does when I have a Brother in Law that will use that word in a joke.

Ok, minimizing and rationalizing it. Better? That's what's happened here, in the state where she's a Delegate.

In this case she used it as a descriptor for a Maryland County, Prince George's, which is roughly 2/3 Black in population. Contrary to what DD stated about her using it while talking to another White, the person to whom she was talking is a Black Delegate.

Democrats have been treating their black supporters/voters like Ni**ers for decades and they keep getting their support. This ain't going to change.

I don't doubt that. The only problem is those who do the same condemning them.

To say that "it was only locker room talk" is doing the same thing. It all needs to stop.

And here you are, continuing to minimize and rationalize what she said.

Yet another example of a Democrat racist caught and exposed. This one is a suburban white woman who helped the Democrats pick up seats in the most recent election. Can't say I'm surprised, a lot of suburban liberal white woman are huge racists.

This woman is a Delegate? I thought she was a congresswoman or a senator the way some of you republicans are going on about it.


Anyways...she can apologize all she wants. My take is she won't go any further than being a Delegate. She's been outed.
