Um, it is absurd that he had to quit. I hear the NAALCP has been up in arms.

He wasn't CALLING anyone a name; he was talking about what happened in the past.

FRiends, when will some others lose THEIR jobs for speaking this verboten word? Rappers, actors, left-wing activists, etc.?

Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me. I remember this sentence from my childhood before polical correctness. Now words are being used as the excuse to break bones thus a rewrite... when spoken words offend me I gather sticks and stone to beak some bones so don’t offend me ... lol ... polical correctness’s end result ... lol

I thought he got ‘canned’ over the NFL BS...

I know I stopped using PJs when they wouldn’t ‘budge’ and he sort of said something and I thought they made him step down then.

If that was just a move, can figure the ‘wolves’ waiting in the wings for him to screw up so they could finish the job.

See what happens when one gets to big?

He may have started in his fathers basement bathroom but once he moved into corporate offices with boards etc, he no longer really ‘owns’ the company.

ALWAYS need to keep at least .50000000000000000000000001 in your DIRECT CONTROL.

If we hadn’t realized it yet, the power of the oppressed (to frame it in Cultural Marxist terms) is in being offended. Worldly redemption for oppressors (victimizers) lies in public confession and repentance. If Jesus Christ came back today, He would be required by offended natural men to publicly confess His sins of oppression (Ten Commandments, etc) and repent.

look, whatever u say in a private conversation is none of my business. But a conference call? That was a dumb mistake.

The Use - Mention distinction seems to have eluded the thinking capabilities of just about everyone. Why don’t we burn dictionaries that list the word and define it as a “hateful insulting pejorative?” Why not ban the very letters that make up its *ame? Oh, excuse me, that should be “Why *ot ba* th* v**y l*tt**s that mak* up *ts *ame?”

Idiotic. Purposeful deceit.

America does not have freedom of speech. That is a privilege for persons of color and feminists.

People can make up their excuses (an employer sets work rules,private vs. public,freedom meant meant only within the government) but we are not free to speak any more than in Stalin’s Soviet Union or the pre-1776 days when happy words about England and King George were free but unhappy ones from Samuel Adams or Tom Paine against the Crown were subject to death threats. Some “free speech.”

Also, Facebook,Twitter,Google,Amazon etc. can set the definition of “hate speech” or “obscene” and say Pence or Rush Limbaugh are banned, old William F.Buckley books are not allowed to be sold or seen online to read and other absurd things.

100% predictable. This is really about the anthem and the NFL. The left wasn’t finished with Schnatter. They had gotten him fired as CEO, but that wasn’t enough blood for them. He f*cking QUOTED someone with the word.

They won’t stop until every innocent White is reduced to a whimpering pulp, prostrate in abject submission, having been relieved of all his money.

Still think we live in a free country?

Sounds like it’s just a move to remove him from the board. Internal hostile takeover. They found an excuse, however flimsy. The press leak sealed the deal.

If I ever started a company and got that big it would be a dictatorship. No board. Not public. Period.

Fascinating, attack without examining the intention and facts surrounding the usage of said word. If the statement was used as an excuse to justify similar “rudeness” then it’s shameful. Yet, if it was used as an example of cultural change, sensitivity to or lack of sensitivity to others, in previous societal mores, then the offense belongs to the previous circumstances and to the person being quoted.

The f*ckfaces at Fox deliberately and intentionally changed reality to “over his use of the n-word”. Only a horsesa$$ would change reality like this.
Here again, hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do.
