Like it or not, we live in a PC world. It is what it is. So I can forgive a lance corporal for saying something off-color or inappropriate. But a general should know better.

From the article it sounds like the general was pushing back against thug culture and thug music.
And it was his opposition to sacred thug music that offended some people.
To: yesthatjallen
From the context, he didn’t “use” the word, he just uttered it to discuss the word as a thing in itself. If that’s considered unacceptable, then Merriam-Webster, and Google, for that matter, are liable for hate speech violations.

....” thug culture and thug music”.....
well that’s pretty much the lot of them isn’t it......I don’t care for their culture norms...maybe the food.

As usual, the story is mis-reported.

Seems like an appropriate time to post this Golden Oldie again:
Black Power A Done Deal
Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed
"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."
"Yet they do.
Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do.
Their power seems without limit.
Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set
to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces.
Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified,
where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them.
Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions
Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting?
The laws must go.
Do blacks not like Confederate flags?
Adieu, flags.
Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus?
These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who havent read them or, usually, heard of them.
Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States?
We cannot. - It would offend blacks.
We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does.
It is positively astonishing.
One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

Total BS. He should appeal. No one’s career should end for a such a benign incident. Instead, those who insist otherwise should be kicked to the curb.

This is the type of tactic that Obama used to remove several higher-ups in the military. So, I suspect that this general is very likely a Trump supporter, which would mean that the Obama shadow government is still very much alive.

Sounds to me that he never actually uttered a racial slur but merely asked how they would feel if he had used that word he was hearing in the music. So apparently he is being relieved not because of using a racial slur at all, and some of the junior Marines, as they are being referred to, took offense at that. Perhaps he was trying to get them to see that the usage of the slur is wrong as it keeps reinforcing a negative about their race within themselves, and jeopardizing cohesiveness with the ranks.

But lets not look at the Rap music industry and their complete and frequent use of certain racist words to describe their own or heck, the real constant use of sexist terms and condescending references to women.

Find out if he is worth re-installing first. We have too many damn generals that are not fighters, just scumbag opportunists thst give BJ’s to defense contractors. We could get rigpd of 40% of all generals and not feel any impact!

Read the article
“According to an updated Stars and Stripes article published on Tuesday, Neary was at an outdoor physical training event for Marines at his headquarters where music was being played over loudspeakers. A witness to the incident told Stripes that after hearing some of the musical artists use a racial slur, Neary asked junior Marines nearby how they would feel if he used the word.
The witness told Stars and Stripes that his comment stunned the young Marines who said that even if Neary “was attempting to be instructive about the taboo nature of the word, it came as a shock to hear it from a white general officer.”
