It's curious that no one got disciplined for playing rap "music" with the offensive word, but the major got relieved of his command for commenting on the matter. Mohamad Ali was found of using the word and called other fighters like Joe Frazier and Ken Norton that because they were darker than he was. Funny, but both knocked him down in the ring and Norton broke Ali's jaw to shut him up.

relieved of his command over his use of a racial slur

That's an outrageous lie; he didn't use a racial slur, he was teaching his subordinates it was inappropriate to use the term.
Using expressions like "a-word" "b-word" "c-word" has a destructive effect on the cohesiveness of our society; this is how we talk to children and now we're talking to each other that way; we are infantilizing the culture and making clear communication impossible.

At this point, we merely pay lip service to a freedom of speech that no longer exists.

You’re better off staying out, Neary. Biden Admin will wipe its a@@ on your men’s carcasses after sending them off to fight an all-advised war. But at least it won’t be on you, and nobody will dare say the “N” word unless they’re black.

Everyone already knows the n word is not to be used but by black people, so I don’t see the point in even bringing it up

All done to make room for someone more woke no doubt. Can you imagine going to war where the people in charge of strategy were promoted to that place because of a political viewpoint, do you think these people were actually able to come up with sound strategy and be able to recognize dangers properly?

Agreed, if I was that General I would have confiscated that CD and taken it over to legal and have them make a determination on the wording of the booking chit.

The network (not sure which one) got rid of Megan Kelly for saying people wore blackface when she was a kid or something.

What was the color of the people blatting the pseudo music?
Serious question. Increasingly young white men act like and copy black street culture. Apparently from a few young guys I have spoken to no adults have ever taken them aside and expressed how repulsive their behavior is, Sadly the difference between being a man and being a petty criminal and thug is rarely taught today.

"Because again, there is no place for discriminatory behavior at all, in our Marine Corps, across the board."

Too bad the new woke military doesn't follow this.

White people should declare that black people can’t use the word ask because they can’t pronounce a three letter word correctly and to say aks is racist against our language.

There’s an easy answer to this problem.

The officer simply needed to appoint one of the black soldiers as his ‘black speaker’, and everytime he wanted to use the word, he would turn to his speaker and has HIM yell out the word. Which he could do without punishment.

Sure, they could try and pin it on him, but it’s an idea.

He used a word that is Dutch for ‘black’. Never go to Holland if you are sensitive to that word.

Just more bull shit! I guess the purpose of our military is no longer to kill and destroy, but more importantly how we talk.
