“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.”

    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.

    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.

      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.

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

          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”.

          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.

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

    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.

        Last time I checked the KKK endorses the Republican party these days. Same as literal Nazis. Isn’t that why Republicans allow Klan hoods and Nazi flags at their gatherings? Calling Democrats the party of the KKK isn’t the insult you think it is when Republicans are the ones openly embracing their rhetoric.

        Republicans will call themselves a dictator and get mad when others calls themselves anti dictator. Bunch of snowflakes.

          Also the father of the current Republican candidate was arrested at a Klan rally while the current Democratic candidate is literally black, making the statement even more asinine.

          Additionally, her father is the first black scholar granted tenure at the Stanford Department of Economics.

      It’s baseless science that was just to further subjugate an oppressed people by giving their mistreatment a pseudoscientific justification.

      You can say black, but you apparently can’t say black in latin. Maybe the ones who downvoted you are just ignorant.

        If you’re writing Latin then have at it. If you’re not writing Latin then negro in the common vernacular is a derogatory term.
