Thank you for posting the tape. Thurmond clearly used the correct term, "Negro," on it. That, then, raises a new point.

Why are some people deliberately lying about remarks made 54+ years ago, in a manner calculated to inflame others, and more deeply divide both Republicans and Conservatives? If there is any justification for this tactic, I cannot begin to grasp it. But it becomes more and more obvious, that there are those who will stop at nothing in their efforts to isolate the defenders of American tradition.

We are being subjected to precisely the same tactics of demonization that the Communists used for a Century and a half to demonize their enemies; that the Nazis used for 20+ years to demonize their enemies. And it is not unreasonable to inquire why? We all understand that both of those totalitarian movements believed that the end justifies the means; that any lie was legitimate if it would advance their agenda. The question is just what is the end sought by America's liars on the Left--just what is the agenda they would advance?

It is patent that it is not an agenda of good will among the American people.

been getting tired of the growing censorship on the FFR.

Don't kick me off FR for this (1st Amend)...

I was at my self-storage facility in the Bronx, and heard (couldn't help it due to the decibel level) some fine gentleman yelling "Hurry up, nigger...c'mon you lazy ass n!gger piece of sh*t". The other gentleman responded "F**k you n!gger, I'll kick your black n!gger ass" The forbidden word was used perhaps another 200 times again in the subsequent 15 minutes.

How can blacks feign such outrage at the "N" word, when they themselves use it constantly in ordinary conversation, contrary to Julian Bond's belief?

I have never heard Jews calling each other "k!kes" or Hispanics calling each other "sp!cs" in ordinary conversation. This idea that the "N" word is so "horrible, hateful and destructive" is absurd. Just put on any Rap CD track and wait 15 seconds. What a double standard, as usual.

Indeed, and it does permeate all those 'special' groups. I posted an article sometime back about a gay org that canned one of the co-founders be cause she was bi-sexual and lesbian. Seems it is ok for them to discriminate based on sex.

I hear him say the other one fairly clearly.

FWIW....I could not tell.....nigra or n-word....hard to say.

Not that I care a whole lot 54 years later what a now 100 year old codger said about a long since dead idea.

The N-word is alive and well within the popular culture of those it allegedly defiles.....social engineers should take this issue up with them.

I hear the word all the time blasting from cars. Mind you I live in a town with 2 colleges and a job core!
Republicans that let the dems walk all over them over this are foolish!
