So adding the "N" word to a statement isn't intended to be a racial slur? :rofl2:

Not at all. As I've explained before, when the people that claim the TERM is racist use it toward someone else indicating it isn't racist in that situation, it invalidates their claim. If, as has been claimed, the TERM is racist, it has to be in all situations not determined by who uses it. It can't be a racist TERM if whites use it and suddenly become non racist when blacks use it toward each other.

I do have a question. If a black person calls another black person a nigger and I agree, is that racist? Keep in mind the argument has been made that blacks calling each other by that term isn't racist.

It is a nasty slur that does nothing to help your arguments or make you look serious. Just saying.

It can't be a slur once the argument has been made that blacks using it toward each other isn't racist. Keep in mind that argument has been made. If a term is racist, it's racist because of what it is not who used it.
 
I am a pre birther. If you go into the Villages in Florida you will find an enormous percentage pro trump. Not even close. they supported Scott who was president of a healthcare company that was the biggest thief of Medicare funds in history. You would think that would alarm them, but they helped vote that crook in. I cannot reach them. They are super pro Trump too. Visiting there requires a lot of beer.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A commission studying what to do with the most prominent Confederate monuments in Richmond, Virginia, recommended Monday removing one honoring Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
The panel of historians, local officials and others that spent around a year studying and soliciting public input about the statues on the city's historic Monument Avenue also urged the addition of permanent signage with historical context near the monuments.

Further, it said leaders should consider adding new monuments that would reflect a "more inclusive" story of the city's history, the commission said in a more than 100-page report.

"In the course of the work, it became abundantly clear the majority of the public acknowledges Monument Avenue cannot and should not remain exactly as it is. Change is needed and desired," the report said.

They are statues, not history. The south tried to destroy the union over slavery. Think we need statues of the KKK? They were part of our history. Think Timothy McVeigh should have a monument?
