Remember with Susan Rice and Obama on board with them now, they’ve changed their name appropriately to NETFASCISTS or NETFASCIX for short.

If you’re WHITE, saying the words to condemn them doesn’t protect you from the insane fangtooth leftists who want your skin.

Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically attack Whites.

Good to see someone finally get fired for calling all of us Trump supporters Nazi. Using that n-word is despicable and usage is increasing.

Wrong n-word? Oh, nevermind. The left is still disgusting (and out of arguments if either n-word is their best debating point)

“You keep saying IT!”

Also it calls out black comedians and rappers who use the word in their content on Netflix.

Just avoid the topic and let only approved persons use the word.

You haven’t heard the latest.

Fire all straight white males. Period.

Let someone else have a job for awhile.

Militant leftism isn’t about equality and hasn’t been for 50 years and it infests academia and crony communist corporations these days.
