They could say that word a million times and I wouldn't give a figgers. The vilifying of people that say this word by accident or on purpose is ridiculous. All it is a word to justify a race for playing the victim card.

Sounds to me like she says, “regardless of which lakers team he played on”.

Which doesn’t make sense. At all

To me, it sounds like she said “Laurel”. My wife said it sounds like she said “Yanni”.

That is what I thought happened. Everyone does NOT know names of sports teams. She just would not say the “word.”

One of the James Bond reference books notes that one of the chapters in an Ian Fleming novel was called “Nigger Heaven.”
When the book was released in the USA, that chapter was retitled. The author (of the reference book, not Fleming) explained that the word “Nigger” was used much more freely in the UK than it was in the USA. Maybe not today though.

I wonder about the hockey player from Nigeria.

It certainly was used by The Major....



"The strange thing was, throughout the morning she kept referring to the Indians as niggers. 'No, no, no,' I said. 'The niggers are the West Indians. These people are wogs.'"

Sounds like the gal was all excited and shook up and was losing her tongue at both ends.

Hopefully, we can agree that whatever she actually said, she did not intentionally say the racial slur that many are hearing. That being said, I am having a hard time feeling sorry for an MSNBC host who is being treated in an unfair manner.

Sad...let’s just get past it. Two people died. That’s what it’s about...

Actually nine people died. The pilot and eight passengers.

In the US we have the word snickered...a certain type of laughing
...and the Snickers bar.

In British books and TV shows
etc the word is “sniggered”.Am
guessing it was Americanized here
due to resemblance to the N word.

Something along that line happened to a Agatha Christie story from 1939 which in England was titled "Ten Little Niggers."

I say we push it as the N word. Shove the stupidity down their throats. Do you really care if a liberal reporter gets fired?
