She needs to resign for being a tyrant.
“Eckerle admitted use of the slur and refused to apologize during an interview on local public radio in which he used the slur several more times.”
Did he use the n word or some other word that is now deemed to be racist? I don’t know what he said but I do like his style of not apologizing and then actually repeating what he said.
Commies?
““this whole thing is because of them [expletive] down in Detroit.”
If an official slurs and no one was around to hear it and no one knows what word was slurred, did he make a slur?
Them THUGS.
The first thing, is that the timing of such a remark, presuming the “n” word (can I still use that description?), is far too convenient, and I agree, this seems like some kind of set-up. No current member of the Republican party would utter such a disparaging remark and expect that the Republicans would not call for his resignation. If it is as presumed, the Republicans in Michigan, yeah both of them, need to issue a statement condemning his remarks, and indicate there’s no room in the party for such people, and demand his ouster.
Now that Gov. Whitmer has determined that a state of emergency exists, of systemic racism, does that mean she can take any and all measures to “correct” this racism? Like, preventing Republicans in her state from holding office?
If they can do anything, under the authority of a “public health crisis”, as with COVID19, they can do anything for any public health crisis. This will eventually lead to them declaring firearms as a “public health crisis”, and they will attempt to legislate behavior through a series of “public health crises.” The precedent has been set, and they will now expand the boundaries, for anything they wish. All it will take is some convenient “lawyer” double-speak, to somehow remotely attach a health crisis to said behavior. This is best exemplified by the Federal Government’s expansion of the commerce clause, to create utterly absurd definitions of the commerce clause.
Oh, he said the n-word. It was even on their zoom meeting. Repeated it again when talking with media. He needed to resign. There is no excuse for that in this day and age. I’m just sorry it had to be spread around the whole country before he would.
Thanks for posting; comments BUMP! Nice distractions, Wretched. We see you.
As a kid my family vacationed on Lake Leelanau for 4 years in a row.
There were NO blacks.
Not too many today.
Wonderful area. Real good corn.
The Governor is kind of niggardly in the number of small infractions here.
Was the slur something like “nagger”?
I hate the “N” word. I haven’t heard the word uttered by any non-black person I know and I don’t know any racists. The word is in almost every rap song I have ever heard and allowed on public radio and entertainment.
Is something really a slur when it is socially unacceptable for 87% of the population? How offensive can it be when those offended use the offending word? I’m offended by the term “white privilege” and all of the stereotypical descriptions of white people.
People losing jobs, being cancelled, harassed, threatened, or assaulted over the use of the word is what should be unacceptable. The time has come to remind everyone of the right to free speech and how it covers speech that is offensive. If the word causes such pain to blacks, why is it used at all? By anyone?
Most people understand that what’s going on is not necessarily just a black thing. It’s multicultural, it ain’t pretty and it stinks.
Is the N-word actually two? One a noun and capitalized and the other a verb/adverb?
NAACP or naaCP?
Just asking!
Moving up from around number 10 to maybe number 3 pick doesn't mean a lot.
