Yes, and even 20 years ago, it was a Schadenfreude moment because it was a homo guy.
It’s an approved word.
The estimable Mr Rosenbaum used the word liberally in the minutes prior to being in the path of Mr Rittenhouse’s AR rounds.
I knew ther was a back story to that but had forgotten what it was. Thanks for the reminder.
How very niggardly of you two to slavishly denigrate this fine man!

LBJ used to say “negras.”
That’s o.k., right? Just a Texas twang put to the proper word, which is ... today ... Congoid. Hard to keep up with the proper word.

Maine Mariner, you wrote:
“I am sure this Barnard professor of sociology is a hard-core leftist. He will say he is sorry that anyone was offended by his and that will be that.”
In glancing at the titles and content of two of Professor Jonathan Rieder’s books on Amazon (see two URL links below), I am thinking you might be wrong in your guess about this professor of sociology at Barnard.
In looking at two of works on Amazon and knowing how these campus “gotcha” accusations are being used, I’m thinking the hard core Leftists on this campus are out to get him and out to get him fired in the censorious reality that the Leftists have insinuated into so many campuses.
I am familiar with the hard core Leftist reality of Barnard/Columbia and similar colleges, but this professor’s books on Amazon seem to be those of a moderate liberal by today’s standards. He wrote a book about MLK’s peaceful, moral stand, etc.
Today’s Left try to wipe out admiration for MLK and white out the legacy of MLK. They ignore his birthday and his legacy, because MLK was not a radical and decried using militancy and violence. MLK was a friend of Israel and Abraham Joshua Heschel, etc. and the radical Left incite Blacks against Jews. MLK’s niece is a vocal conservative who decries the violence of radicals. This professor’s MLK biography is apparently already a classic, a positive biography about MLK’s moral stand, bravery, etc.
Also Jonathan Rieder did a book about the growing discord between groups in the U.S. (See below). The radical left are intent on looking for any little thing they can use to damn and excise from academe and sully the reputation in Leftist circles and beyond of whatever moderates are still holding academic positions.
And he may even be blackballed! Why it's almost a form of professional blackmail.
And I hope this incident does not cause the university to act niggardly with respect to his compensation.
Thank you for the information.
It was a guess based on my general knowledge and impression of professors of sociology at Barnard.
But yes the hard core left destests moderate liberals almost as much if not more than conservatives.
