    So, if she didn't hear the N word, but heard PLENTY of JEW this and that, it aint relevant? She says, he is DISMISSIVE, and discriminatory. That is ENOUGH.

    Depending on the context perhaps. Do you have a transcript of the comments? Simply saying the word jew isn't racist or indicative of racist thoughts.

    As to what she says: That would be her opinion, that you're now taking as gospel. Recall during the election that you did not take her opinion as gospel? I wonder what changed? Could it be that you find her credible now that her opinions serve your agenda where you didn't before when she was opposed to you?
    Without hard evidence her word is worth mud.

    Where in the hell do you come up with this off the wall nonsense? Is talking about race a turn on for you, or is this your best game other then complaining about being neglected and unloved?

    Jesus Guy get a damn puppy or something!

    So, you reveal that the PERTINENT factor is ALL REPUBLICAN, and you add WHITE, in hope to conflate the two?

    You realize that fellow travelers are not commonly attacked in the democrat or republican parties?

    Also: I didn't say a thing but to point out that Republican was in the conditions another poster used and you responded with a Democrat. I was simply pointing out your error because it amused me to do so. Perhaps you should read more carefully?

    "Trump's approval rating among black men increased in the week between April 22 and April 29, according to a Reuters poll. West made posted his series of tweet voicing support for Trump on April 25.

    It jumped from an 11% approval on April 22 to 22% on April 29.

    Among the total black community, it also nearly doubled, but the numbers were lower.

    His approval among all blacks increased from 8.9% to 16.5%."

    Are we all grapes? I have never heard of any claim that Trump talks that way. I recall that president Lyndon Johnson did as well as earlier presidents.

    I'm not sure that matters. I can accept that certain insults from certain mouths are pejorative de facto. I wouldn't let my black friends call me a cracker or a say "this ****ing cracker I met the other day" while talking to me, I've no objection to returning the courtesy with racial pejoratives which refer to blacks.

    For a long time, it was simply a term. It was not even thought of as an insult. I suspect it was republicans that changed it to being an insult. I doubt it was Democrats. Humans have varied ways ot speaking of others. But not all of those terms means they are insults.

    What happened well past my own childhood is the way Democrats changed language to suit their political purposes. They can't claim the changes were needed, only that by changing how the words are explained to others ends up being wrapped up into politics.

    The use of that term to day calls for it not to be said, only hinted at by the letter n. When i was young the other N word was very popular all over the country and I do not recall any resentment at all over the other N word. That word ends in o and not r.

    I understand not saying queer but to change it to gay puzzles me so much. It is one more word swapped by Democrats entirely for political purposes. Say a person went back to a newspaper circa 1950 and hunted for the word gay, it means happy. "A gay man handed out xmas presents" was not saying the man was homosexual. He simply showed he was happy.

    I mean, Ni**er is definitely an insult. It derives from black which in all cultures that would've used the word when applied to race would carry with it an intrinsic announcement of inferiority at the time it was used.
    I've only ever seen it used as an insult. I've only ever heard it used as an insult. I'm not sure it matters who turned it into an insult, rather it matters that it is perceived as one.
    **** isn't that dirty a word and refers to a vagina, but say **** in front of a woman and see the reaction you get.
    Insults are not often logical.

    Its really pretty easy: You don't say Ni**er or other racial slurs, unless you feel like being considered a racist. If you don't mind, then speak away.
    My grandmother grew up on a cotton farm in east texas, her father was the overseer. Some of the sharecroppers grandmother would care for the children too young to work while everyone was in the fields all day. This woman was black as the ace of spades. She resented the use of the term, that's what my grandmother communicated to me. This would've been the tail end of the 20's. So I don't use it. You want to? Free country, but I ain't gonna stand by you while you do it because I don't hold with it.

    You didn't notice any resentment? How many blacks did you know and associate with as equals at that time?

    african americans have been trained well by the likes of al sharpton. the dem party wants to keep them poor, ineducated, and dependent upon the forced generosity of taxpayers. how better to assure they keep voting against their own interests?

    I certainly wouldn't want to be lumped in with white SJWs.

    Trumps approval rating with blacks was 15% in 2017. It's 29% in 2018.

    It's not 3%, he just doesn't know what he's talking about.

    Yes, probably, but not in the way you're thinking.

    So in other words, conjecture and wild speculation.
