Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

"Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump," the sign outside New Era Baptist Church reads, "you are an ignorant stupid negro." The other side says, "Warning African Americans: A vote for Trump will put Blacks back to picking cotton."

Good it’s true. He is a literal racist. If you will vote for someone that hates people with your skin color you deserve what comes to you.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

I don't care for the vitriol but the sentiment is exactly how I feel.

Any person who is not a white male millionaire that votes for trump I'd am idiot, but it's particular true of black people and hispanics.

[–] Peppycito 17 points 4 weeks ago

I'd am aren't a idiot 😠

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Here’s the thing, white male millionaires always end up the deadest during autocracies. They think they will be able to keep and grow their power and the opposite is true.

Having money doesn’t keep you from being a dumbass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm agree with you on this particular exact situation.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Title feels like clickbait. Would be more convinced it was deliberate clickbait if the thumbnail didn't directly show the sign saying "negro" and not the actual slur.

But that just makes the choice of title more confusing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean, I sort of agree but it's not like they could put "Negro" in the title and they did properly put the correct number of dashes for the missing letters.

For the same reason they can't/shouldn't put any other racist slurs in the title. Duh.

FFS dude, even a casual look at a dictionary would tell you that it is, in fact, a slur.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Negro

Even the most non-offensive definitions of "Negro" incorrectly describe it as a different race, as if black people were not human. So even in the BEST POSSIBLE CONTEXT you're still using it as a racial slur.

I can also say with 100% certainty that you are not black. Only non-black racists try to claim that Negro is not a racial slur.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Depends on the publication's editorial guidelines with respect to what words are censored and how. Probably not the author's choice.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Only non-black racists try to claim that Negro is not a racial slur.

I would have considered your point, but it's pretty clear you are absolutely unreasonable and presumptuous. Of course you think I'm prejudiced, because it's a projection of who you are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you just pull a "No I'm not, you are!"

Dude, wow... just, wow.

Dont lie. You would never have considered my point. Because you're more concerned about being "right" than actually changing your viewpoint.

Ive presented straight up facts. Also note that you didn't even refute my argument. You are not a black person. Ask yourself how I could know this. Then try to understand how little of your own thoughts are actually yours.

Maybe if you do that you'll learn to deprogram yourself. But hey, I get it. It's easier to blame other people for your shortcomings.

I won't respond any more to any further arguments on your part.

lol. You really have no idea how logically ridiculous you are, do you.

Because you’re more concerned about being “right” than actually changing your viewpoint.

Just remember that you are clearly projecting here. You think I must have this short-coming because you see it in yourself.

I won’t respond any more to any further arguments on your part.

Next time I suggest just moving on rather than taking childish insulting swings at the other person and then running away. I'm happy to debate you on the topic, if you're willing to not ridiculously and illogically accuse me of being racist because I disagree with you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh? You use that term all the time then? How often do you get punched in the mouth? Let's go with daily average.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You use that term all the time then?

Yes, that's clearly what I said. You're very smart.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

So you agree that it's an insulting and disparaging word? How is that not a slur?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/slur

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's not a word I use myself. I've just never considered it offensive, just dated. If someone told me it was offensive to them, I wouldn't use it (but again, I don't use it anyway so I don't see how this wouldn't come up) around them.

But, honestly, I would have no problem saying "the United Negro College Fund" if I were talking about it, but if there were a similar entity that used the far more offensive n-word in it, I would not feel comfortable using it and wouldn't say it at all.

And I find this all kind of silly because they freely use it throughout the article, where i doubt the same could be said about the other n-word.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

They could if they meant negro, which means black in Spanish, not n----, the archaic term for black people. See? Censored.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Just for clarification, I fully agree with the censorship. I just agree that at first glance it looks like they used the OTHER N word, which is what the first was saying when he mentioned "clickbait".

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago

Oh FFS, "negro" isn't the "N" word, and this is within the black community so don't judge. I'm glad they're speaking plain truth in a way that might have genuine impact.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 weeks ago

😅 holy shit, this church is based

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Uh, the N- word in the title is misleading. Do people blot out the term when talking about UNCF, too?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I know right? Really loud virtue signal fail there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep. NAA*P censored their name too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not that I'm advocating for bringing terms back - I realize certain things fall out of fashion - but I do wonder how the titles, and the content, of MLK's speeches are discussed. I noticed for a time that the term "black" was also seemingly teed up for a similar treatment, by the way and that did not happen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is a long o the same as a hard r?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

United Nations Cabana Fund?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Going by what I guess is a new norm, it's the United N---- College Fund. They used to do spots on television way back.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Talking politics in church tho? I mean I also agree with the sentiment but what happened to being citizens of the kingdom that is not of this earth? I understand lots of religious leaders are advocating for the other side, but it seems wrong to me either way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I hear you - I just think we’re that far gone. It’s that bad. Pull out all the stops.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Three out of four.

Hmmm
