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?
He said “nigga”, and it was a word he claimed many used in his multiracial community growing up in Hialeah, Florida.... which is pretty diverse. Or was.
He also dropped some genuine curse words. But he was having a PRIVATE dinner with folks. This reeks of what happened to the guy who owned the LA Clippers...private conversation, privacy rights violated in the name of victimhood. No evidence this guy has publicly engaged in racist behavior...in fact, the Clipper guy had received NAACP awards, hired a black head coach... was not by all actions a racist.
I understand people being disappointed. But this is not an occasion to ruin a man’s career or take his business.
