Guy even apologized. Not enough. They want his head on a platter. His home burned down. Children sold into slavery.
And when Robert “Kleagle” Byrd (D-KKK) used that word twice on a cable news program, what happened?
A simple, “No” should suffice.
Stand behind your words or don’t say them in the first place.
Did he call someone a Nagger?
his name is a variation of the N word! Too funny
What did he say?
Bad to apologize, very bad.
One standard. This “it’s OK for X people to say it, but not for Y people to say it” is a vicious mind trick.
I don’t use the word. There’s credible evidence that it hurts some people’s feelings, and I was brought up not to do that unnecessarily. However, were I ever a crime victim like Paula Deen, I might say it in the heat of the moment, and I would be perfectly justified to do so.
Fo’ sizzle,my nizzle!
If I was him I would graciously go to the door and tell them to go to HELL!!!!!!
Ya’ know, I’m pretty conservation and I don’t use those words in private conversations when I’m talking with Blacks or Females.
And I damn well make sure I watch my language when talking with members of the political opposition.
The dude was incredibly stupid and should resign.
I’m about fed up with all this self inflicted turmoil caused by R leadership.
What does “a variant of the n-word” mean? Did he use the “n-word” or not? Are the thought police now after people because they said something “almost like” a slur?
This fake news won’t disclose what was said.
The apologies are never asked of the other side when they freely and frequently use rude and crude language against this side. And there used to be a day when apologies were not part of the equation. We could speak our minds without being attacked... we had enough sense to watch our own words and we didn’t need the liberal progressive opinion police to be the judge and jury.
F*ck them, because:
their outrage applies only to WHITES;
they get to choose the words that are “racist”;
blacks are NEVER made to resign over the very same words that lead to the termination of Whites;
they never show outrage when a black kills a White.
So, f*ck them.
What, niggardly?
Using words that offends someone is not breaking a law. It might be crude, offensive, shocking, and dumb but he can say it.....even elected officials. His district will take care of it. The rest of them can sit down and shut up.
