Well, you certainly have no problems using God’s name in vain.
So slit your throat, evil honkie.
Yes, RACISM is very much alive and well in today’s America, but it is the blacks and the mestizos who are the RACISTS!
My dear old grandmother died at the age of 98 in 1983. I recall as a teen (late 70’s) we would stop by after church, or I’d be over there doing yard work, etc.
She usually had some nice news about the 50-year old gal that lived across the street that would bring over treats and coffee, etc. Sort of watched over her like neighbors do.
“Oh, and that nice nigger girl brought over some homemade bread and we had coffee this morning. She is such a blessing!”
I never did have the gumption to correct her!
Paula Dean, you’re wanted on the Hollywood Hypocrisy Hotline...
Costner ...do gooder....pats back...stick to Westernz Kev
Ironically I was spanked for saying “nigger” in a time it was more common for white usage
Now fast forward 50 years
I use it when it suits me....when they piss me off or threaten me totally guiltless
Today ain’t 1965 black race much anymore
No hostility from them and the black on white crime genocide was non existent
They feared us
Can you imagine the average black man or even sista fearing physically your average white man today by any means
Little hipster sissies are so scary....boo!
Skinny jeans just wet hisself...
All a black man has to do is growl and average white guy lays down and offers up his sister or daughter as a Peace Corps offering
It’s pitiful
I spent about half my childhood growing up in Compton, CA. Costner and I are only two years apart, and Compton is a small town. Seems like I should have run into him at some point.
White boys were as rare as hen's teeth when I lived there, so he would have stood out like a sore thumb.
It's about the Manhattan Project in WWII. Not many people know this, but the white scientists were unable to figure out how to put the atomic bombs together until a couple of black ladies explained it to them. Hollywood is correcting the oversight to these ladies.
After hearing Costner tout Black and White on Catholic Radio, I saw the movie. It was not a hit. He’s sincere. No. His motivation isn’t clear. The film lacked “organicity”. Sometimes, this may be one of ‘em, good intention is meritable. He’s attempt to “dialogue” is better than say Shaun King or Rachel Dolezal.
Sorry Kevin, racism is de facto and de jure dead in America, at least for white people.

What was funny tho, on a Friday evening in July he made the local TV news after he was arrested for impersonating a federal officer.........In 2010 the dumbass was arrested for the same crime (plus felony firearm posession) and did 3 years in prison.
Uh huh, no significance to the world. BS.
Even with racist caricatures of black people in cartoons and films from the 1930s and 40s and possibly 1950s, you won't find the "n-word" used in them. It is said by a character (played by Timothy Carrey) in Stanley Kubrick's The Killing (from around 1961) and the word packs a punch (from a cold and evil man in the story) because it very crude language.
Apart from some racist klan records, I can't recall seeing the word (prior to 1960s black comedy albums) listed on any track titles except for a 10" single from the 1910s or 1920s.
When Mr. Costner says "that's how you talked (as a child)" all I can respond with is "your mama brought you up wrong then".
Let’s face it. There are black men and women.
Fortunately they make up the majority.
And then there are the folks we see starring in the threads where the majority of the comments, at least at the beginning, go something like this:
“How did I immediately know that the perp(s) here are .... African-American?”
well, he used it thousands of times more than I ever did... but I’m likely one of the racists he refers to
“I said the N-word a thousand times as a child. That’s how you talked,” he said. “But there comes a moment when you choose how you are going to be yourself.
“All of a sudden, telepathically you knew that word wasn’t funny; it fell flat like a coke that had no more bubbles in it, and it was gone, eliminated.”
He added that, even in the 1990s, “some people weren’t happy that I picked Whitney Houston to be my love interest in The Bodyguard – and that I kissed her; who wouldn’t want to kiss her?
I'll use a line from another movie (Matthew McConaughey). I call BU!!$H¿TT.
As for "who wouldn’t want to kiss her?" You couldn't find a bucket big enough for me to have that as a bucket list item!!!
BLM are now the slave masters & the Costnerites are the field hands.
BLM thinks they have sumpin to say & we all have to listen....well speak into my pUd.
