She gave in to the PC crowd!

I'm not sure if she was given a choice. The stations control what they allow to be said over their transmitters, and they in turn are controlled by their need to make money from advertising.

From the way she's talking, I'm going to guess she was given her walking papers, and she's deciding to now do her thing on the Internet, where it's harder to shut her down.

The predominant usage in modern American English refers to persons hostile to those of differing race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation and religion.
I did not attack her race, ethnicity, nationality or sexual orientation.

I attacked her judgement.

Do you think everyone who criticizes Obama is a bigot?

Is that what you are saying?

In fact, it IS what you are saying but you're going to squirm and lie and PRETEND that it is NOT what you are saying.

The fact is, I called her stupid for an action she took. You played the "racism" card by calling me a "bigot" (which doesn't even make sense in this context, but you are too supremely stupid to see that).

I personally don’t care what word or phrase she uses either.

But c’mon. What business is she in? How can she not know how such usage is going to play out. Didn’t she learn from the earlier “nappy” incident?

If you can’t learn... c’mon...

... . I am white and never use the word. Ever. I don’t have to think about it and it requires zero cognitive energy on my part. I long ago removed that word from my vocabulary and it never comes out of my mouth. Ever. ...

Like I said, "that's mighty white of you". You're a bigot... and don't know a moron from a PC artist like yourself! Add to that, you are ignorant. You actually believe that because something "predominates", does not mean it is THE correct usage.

Once again you confirm your status…

you're a bigot… I don't have to pretend anything, thank you!

Is English your first language?

If not, please let me know what is. I’ll try to use google language tools to get across to you what the meaning of the word bigot is.

You still don’t get it.

You probably never will.

Frankly, I don’t understand why you’re so upset about this.

Is Laura your girlfriend? Or do you WANT her to be?

Did I offend your little hottie?

Is she the woman of your dreams?

It's quite easy to define bigotry. You fail to understand and react accordingly.

I used the term to properly define your behavior. Thanks for further proof!

A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices. -wikipedia

A bigot is someone who prejudges someone based on their race, ethnicity, gender or religion.

A moron is someone who uses the word “bigot” when what they really mean is “somebody I disagree with”.

You never answered my question.

If I call Obama a communist, or a liar, or a destroyer of the constitution...

Am I a bigot?

so, you're a moron AND a bigot! You called Laura S a moron because you disagreed with her.

Try again?

I called Laura a moron because I believe that she acted like one.

That belief does not make me a bigot.

What’s funny is you have spent zero time defending what she did and all your time attacking me.

I do believe you have a crush on her.

Do you have her pictures plastered all over your bedroom and bathroom walls? Do you imagine “doing it” with her?
