    LOL Using a racial slur isn't racist. Now that's a new one even for a liberal.

    As a racial slur yes.

    No! You don't say!

    Try to think just for a second. She used a racial slur to make an unbelievably false equation. Unless you can prove women everywhere in the world are now sold into slavery, cannot vote and are not considered an actual person her argument and yours is so behind any level of even the most basic education its hard not to laugh.

    As Leftists support Sharia Law and Muslims right to not assimilate, Bette may have a point. She should not have used the N-word.

    Of course not because its painfully inaccurate. The N word described a race of people male and female and only in the US. Her stupidity and her supporters of it are so lacking in basic education its sad to even have to point it out.

    Let's be clear. I have never made up stiff about you.


    The question was did she apologize yes or no and she did and clearly she did because she knew her claim was not only idiotic and racist but uneducated as well.


    Now let's get to the stupidity of her statement what a surprise your support of it. The N word described a race of people male and female and only in the US so already the reference is without merit. And she said women of the world are treated this way which is patently false. In the western world and parts of the eastern world women are not treated under any law the way she described.

    But I can't say I'm surprised you would support such an idiotic and uneducated over exaggeration of the word or the world.

    No one who uses that, or any word "needs" to apologize. She clearly knows that what she said may get pounced on like Roseanne or Papa John by the rabid SJW leftist.

    She typed N-word and used it to describe people. So because she didn't type it out completely she wasn't thinking it and saying it in her head? Like there's a difference? If someone says, "You're a "N-word" instead of saying the actual word, that makes it OK? Oh cmon. Just STOP it.

    Guess I could have typed N-WORD in quotes, as if theres a difference. Doesn't discount the obvious double standard on display already. The MSM is barely covering it compared to the Papa Johns founder or Rossane tweet.

    She wasn't really eviscerated. It was mostly just people essentially saying 'hey, you still can't say that'

    If she'd been a known conservative, there'd be 50K people claiming she wants slavery back... but shes not, so she got gently reminded to rephrase.

    LOL, just like they claimed Konye was advocating for... People are sheep and liberals are great at doing what they are told.

    Is using the N word similar to using "planet of the apes"?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    It does make a difference.

    And, it is plain to everyone that you altered the title to editorialize.

    If you alter titles (in an obvious attempt to further a political agenda) threads of this nature belong in PO&B.

    PS--It isn't a big deal (except to a small group of RW agitators looking for any reason to shade "The Left").
    Were you expecting 9/11 style coverage?

    Actually it's exactly as I said you just dishonestly bolded only part of the answer. And what a shocker you could debate the rest. Typical.

    Look if you can't stomach an actual debate just say so.
