      Then just attack his racist comments and not speaking. It’s not clear that’s what he said. There’s plenty of racist people who would never ever in a million years use that word. If they’re really so bad it’s easy to beat them on substance without resorting to gotchas that can happen to anyone

          Did he do that? It’s not clear. Sounds like he just fumbled his words. And no I don’t use them on accident or on purpose but nice try

          We’re desensitized by our usage in music and casual interaction. Racists are desensitized by their usage in hatred. The only people made uncomfortable are white moderates unwilling to do anything more than vote for the house n----r.

          There is no contradiction. Anyone can put their foot in their mouth or trip up what they’re saying. Doesn’t mean they are casual or even rare users of racial slurs. My point is If somebody is saying something racist it’s easy enough to criticize that without resorting to pointing out they used one phoneme of a bad word. It just sounds petty and it doesn’t at all speak to the people that need convincing that the rhetoric around immigrants is unacceptable. Do you want to feel superior or do you want to win?
