“I was prepared to go on stage to craft a statement, saying he decided not to go on stage because of fact-checking… we couldn’t compromise on that.”
As [NABJ president Ken] Lemon was preparing that statement, Trump walked onto the stage.
Yes. I can see. You can handle it so well you’ve been getting upset about it for over a day now.
Because it’s hurtful.
Unlike, apparently, when the actual racists are saying it.
But the racists you’re speaking of aren’t using it in public. Name one instance of an elected Republican using it in public in the past year. You can’t because they don’t. Do you know why they don’t? Because they know it’s offensive, hurtful, and they’ll get blowback for it.
But you did use the racial epithet, very unnecessarily, your point and joke could have been made without it.
You’re pointing your finger at racists because you say they’re using racial slurs privately. But you used it publicly. You did.
That’s why I called it out, you used a racial slur publicly, unnecessarily, that would be hurtful to people, and you’re proud of it and defend it. It’s not about what Republicans do, it’s about what you do.
Yet. Which is my point.
But you can’t handle it when someone who isn’t trying to be offensive said it.
And then you continued to talk about how much it hurt you. Repeatedly. And then claimed I didn’t care about anyone’s feelings because I didn’t care if a word that people use in much ways hurt you when I used it.
By the way, you have no idea what my skin color is. I wonder if that would matter?

If it didn’t hurt you, how do you know it hurt anyone else? Why do you speak for them.
And I didn’t make a racist joke, I made a joke about racists. It’s amazing you can’t tell what the difference is. You better never listen to a Richard Pryor routine.
