He did not say how many more months he needs to work on getting racist language out of his vocabulary.

Just substitute it with a neutral word like “teen” and before you know it, it will become autonomic

It takes work?

It's never been in my vocabulary. I didn't even want my parents to know that I knew bad words.

We don't talk that way in our family. We never have. My children don't. (My grandmother was embarrassed that her initials spelled LEG.)

All he has to do is self-identify as Black. Then he can use the “N” word all he likes.

We southerners are supposed to use it every few words, and constantly worry that somewhere, some N-word isn’t being kept down. Fact is, we don’t use it all that much, never did, and really don’t obsess over black folk. Blacks and city dwelling northerners use it much more. Blacks use it as both a term of endearment as well as a pejorative. Blacks use it in public. It’s either a bad word, or it isn’t. People should get over this nonsense.

Only time I ever heard it used outside of a racist relative was in NYC and Boston. Never in the South. Never in the West.

How about just not using it. I mean unless you're an aspiring wrapper most adults can control "potty mouth".

Who am I kidding. Take a good long look at what we call "adults" today or what the left call "a woman".

“To get rid of this N-word in my vocabulary and dictionary and everything else, because it’s just not true, figure out how they did this, and get on with my life.”


It means they lied about him saying the n-word all the time. He wanted to find a way to end it. Not that it was in his real vocabulary. Fake the media will exploit this quote for headlines out of context.

This is a disingenuous story.
The author should be ashamed.

Why bother? Liberals use all kinds of derogatory words to describe anyone who is white.

I grew up thinking that AAs were called “Niggers”. We were taught IN SCHOOL that Black people were “Negroes”.

Nigger was just a slang term for “Negroes”. EVERYONE KNEW THAT!

While, yes, I attended all White schools. My FIRST Black classmate was in high school. She was very popular and became class president.

As a kid, I did see Black people as we lived in a rural/farming community and there were migrant workers. Never really had any “raciss” thoughts about them. They OBVIOUSLY “looked different”, but so did “Red Heads”!

They were people who came to pick apples and whatever farm work and then they were gone. Gone “where”, I had no idea. It was just the way of the world in upstate New York in the fifties and early sixties.

Then all hell broke loose.

Two questions. Why was it in his vocabulary to begin with? And why did it take him until 2020 to decide he should remove it?
