题目: The "N" word

While I PERSONALLY agree that the context DOES matter, and PERSONALLY I see nothing wrong with the way it was used here (as in a quote that what used to make a point in what is supposed to be an intelligent conversation), it IS a word that gets a good majority of people worked up, so it would be best left off of our public boards, for that reason.

Very poor run on sentence, but I'm not changing it!

题目: Re: The "N" word

rod03801: I think there are those here that simply took an opportunity to make a non issue an issue. I agree that it is an offensive word. But that was the point. It was being argued that the Democrats racial past was just that, past. But that's not the case. Robert Byrd, who just passed away, used that "N" word in a recorded interview. This interview was RECENT.

LBJ said that he'd get the blacks to vote for democrats by giving them political favors/concessions etc. And when Blagojevich was considering what to do with the open Senate seat, he was recorded as saying that he should choose a black candidate as that would appease black voters. It's worth noting that Blagojevich is from the same political machine that Obama came out of.

Something about an apple not falling far from the tree comes to my mind.

Tuesday: SO? I will continue to have whatever opinion I want to have, and I don't care if it is agreed upon by the "majority".

The issue is fixed, there is no need to continue complaining about it.

Tuesday: Yes, you have a right to be childish and argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative, I suppose. It's not becoming though. It is time to get back to POLITICS. Thanks.
