Folks online are calling out National Review editor-in-chief Rich Lowry after he seemingly used a racist slur while discussing the Republican-launched anti-Haitian rhetoric that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating domesticated animals.

Ok I’m no fan of south bashing neocons who call my ancestors Nazis in gray from 160 years ago and who also spout GOPe national review online tropes and Trump bashed till high heaven until now when if they want to play ball on the podcast right they have to accept Orange Man Bad but I watched this live and my wife and I jaws dropped when it happened I doubt it’s common vernacular for him honestly but here is the actual soundbite

Make up your own mind

My ears ain’t lying

It irks me how it’s common usage with the vast majority of blacks today yet they and everyone else basically recoils in horror if it’s used by non POC

I was spanked if I was caught using it in 1960s Mississippi as a kid by my dad

Anyhow it’s not yet an avalanche so he may escape

Likely the media see him as less offensive than a Trumper. And are less antagonized and whipped up over it

Its wierd how it works

Kid Rock whom they hate got away with it recently

[Mr. Blond]

Sounded like he started to mispronounce “migrants”.

[Does so]

‘Sounds like he tripped over the Demoncrat-word “migrant”.

If he’d finished that word, it would have come out as “meager”.

I’m sitting here my JBL HEADSET heavy magnet on high volume

No doubt to me what he said

The N word

Not that I’m offended lol

I hear it all the time

I’m from an 85% black city

And currently live in one 25-30%

[equaviator]

Did he or didn’t he?...Only his detractors know for sure.

[spincaster]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA can’t stop laughing ,what a dick. I guess we know what he says off camera and in his kitchen.

[Political Junkie Too]

If you look at Lowry's lips you can see that he's forming the "m" sound.

I think Lowry stumbled over the word "migrants," first stumbling to utter "immigrants" and then trying to correct himself to "migrants."

Phonetically, Lowry said "mig... mIgrants..."

This is just another attempt to cancel someone. Lowry should have just called them "illegals" like the rest of us.

They call us terrible things; I have no problem if people call them (what they consider to be) terrible things. I don’t do it myself, but don’t have a problem with it.

Those whining about “the N word” usually are fine with taking the Lord’s name in vain, and nobody objects. What’s up with that?

[equaviator]

Perhaps, but would the rest of the world really have a need to know?

[equaviator]

“Those whining about “the N word””

All things being equal, I say the N-word is simply a state of mind and that it never applies to the color of one’s skin.

[sauropod]

Tempest in a teapot.

[maddog55]

I still use it today. It’s a word and very appropriate at times. I’ve been called everything you can imagine and unlike many I don’t give a shxt.

Those it offends are false POS and are offended by everything and use it to their advantage anyway they can so when I offend someone I don’t give a shxt either.

[FreedomForce]

I think that’s what happened, too. He could probably have an audio analysis done that would show an “m” instead of an “n” then sue some people.

[hellinahandcart]

I hear the n-word too.

I also read the article and woof! Yahoo news has gotten awful.

[MayflowerMadam]

“I hear the n-word too.”

So? Who will die? Does it equate to yelling, “FIRE”, in a crowded theater? Do First Amendment freedoms exclude Rich Lowry? Is there a Commandment prohibiting it? There is one pertaining to speech, and people break that one every single day. People’s pants don’t get in a wad over THAT.

Good grief

[hellinahandcart]

I heard what I heard.

Nobody’s going to die. Although Rich might feel like it for a while.

The Yahoo article is actually more offensive than the n-word. It reads like it was written my angry Chinese teenagers.

I am of the opinion that anyone using that term shows themselves to be ignorant and stupid. I, for one, did not grow up hearing the term (I grew up Catholic in Kansas City); I have not heard anyone in my family use that term, I did hear one particular officer in the Reserves use the term and I told him to shut up (I was an officer too).
