For the record, I am not a fan of the word, but it's worth satisfying everyone's curiousity.

Accidentally typed? Good!
But hearing it hundreds of times in rap & hip hop doesn’t ruffle a single feather.
Freedom of speech only exists here?
To me that would mean "Walz" or maybe "Maddow."
But it could have merely been a reference to activist Dick Gregory's autobiography, or the 1897 novel about the Narcissus by Joseph Conrad, or the 1974 comedy LP by Richard Pryor admitting he was crazy and the one in 1976 about the bicentennial.
So ... I’m picturing President Trump reading a speech off a teleprompter and accidentally saying the n-word because a “language filter” was being set up and “accidentally” typed the word into the teleprompter.
First — President Trump would be smart enough to avoid saying the word that appeared on his teleprompter.
Second — If he did say it, no media outlet in the country would ever allow him to forget it or ever allow him to be forgiven. Heck, I bet he would be impeached by the House and removed by the GOP-controlled Senate.
My comment was regarding the hypocrisy:
“Never watching KKKTLA again,” one post declared.
Ktla is as far left a network as you can get here in LA they call themselves the progressive network and yrs ago covered up when their news anchor died .. they paid tribute for him for a week like he was some kind of hero but it turned out he left work early met some dude on tinder and had meth shoved up his behind resulting in his death
I trust he’s smarter than Charles Barkley, but he still might get tripped up by something like that.
What was the word? Did they use “Hispanic” instead of “Latino” or something? Maybe whoever typed it simply had an outdate edition of the “racist” words dictionary.
They may not even be an employee. These media firms outsource a lot their work and the "social media support team" might be one of them.
That tells a lot.
Don’t care. There was a Firesign Theater LP where they sang a song with a long list of ethnic slurs. No one gave a damn.
For the record, I am not a fan of the word, but it's worth satisfying everyone's curiousity.
They posted “whites?”
Or “honkies” or “crackers?” The possibilities are endless.
Which would not be the case for certain other countries.
A niggardly excuse if I ever saw one...
Actually I'm pretty sure this still photo is from a live AM broadcast when a earthquake hit LA.
How do you accidentally type Nigger?
