Why do Republicans pretend to be pro-black and then say stuff like "it's just a word, get over it"?

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

I'm a Republican myself (libertarian conservative, not the Trump kind), I get quite annoyed by seeing comments on Facebook regarding Juri Nips using the N-word on Call of Duty saying it's just a word, whining about political correctness, et cetera.

He's more than half a year younger than me, he's from a country where the N-word probably isn't common over there, and with that being said, it's mostly Americans bitching with their hypocrisy KNOWING that the word was originally used to disparge African-American slaves and was constantly used to hang them on trees and nooses.

Moreover, why do people always have to write apology notes and upload to their Instagrams when they are caught using discriminatory, derogatory, or prejudiced remarks? Particularly rich people?

I as a poor person have gotten into trouble for doing and saying f**ked up things (including using the N-word) but I was told to be on social detox and not have a social media presence for a few months.

To clarify, Republicans pretend that only the select few hyper-Christian black conservatives speak for the entire community, however when a white progressive extremist-liberal SJW breaks that ticking timebomb all hell breaks loose for these MAGAflakes.

Pardon my mistake, I meant to write Juri Vips

1. It is just a word.
2. Free speech means free speech.
3. No one cares about your manufactured, spoon fed struggle. You were born with AC, indoor plumbing, 911 services, a three bedroom house for $75/mo, (welfare), a job is optional, no one can tell you anything for fear of being cancelled, we just have to accept the cultural incompatibilities, again for fear of being cancelled and you can drink the water coming out of the faucet (lest you live in a dem controlled city or there's not enough local rich people to pay for infrastructure because thats how we pay for things in this country. (Yay democracy, unless its time to pay some bills).
4. No one, NO ONE has used the N-word more than leftwing twitter over the past week. Not a one has been banned mind you.
5. Stop sucking at life, hanging onto that chip on your shoulder when literally ever other formerly enslaved population has moved on with their lives.

I mean imagine if every Jew reacted like black people do, upon hearing Jewish slurs... And given the modern left, the unprincipled swine that they are, they'd consider it an OWN if the right didn't consider the N-word to be free speech.

Heh heh heh so you don't ACKTUALLY believe in free speech then? Heh... what else do you not ACKTUALLY believe in heh heh r/GOTEM

Republicans don’t pretend to be “pro black”. Ell oh ell! That’s actually what the “progressives” do. You can select nearly any major US metropolitan area like LA, New York, Detroit, Philadelphia and have a cursory look at their political ideologies for the past half century. Nearly all have been controlled by “democrats” that entire time, and the ethnic minorities living in those areas haven’t been lifted out of poverty. Poverty is as high as it’s ever been. They haven’t been freed from crime. Crime rates are as high as they’ve ever been. Skools haven’t improved; they’ve fallen behind. Overall health and well-being is down while costs soar. If you care about someone, is this how you treat them? It’s a farce. It’s ALWAYS been a farce. Fortunately, more minorities are seeing this more plainly with every passing year.
Also, it IS just a word. However, words matter; specifically CONTEXT matters. If you use the word hatefully, there should be consequences. If you’re just using it colloquially, people should stop being snowflakes about nonsense.

I don't account for much but the "N" word should not be used by anyone - including the black people!
It just made me think. I never used that word in my home while raising my son. So, I bet he doesn't even know what it means.
There have been times in my life while living in the Southeast part of America where they still use it, and when they used it in front of me, I told them to never say that word around me again!

Well there was a music band named "N**** With Attitude".

I would say we should judge the political parties by their actions. The GOP doesn't prioritize BLM issues or the segregation and wealth gap in our society between whites and blacks. The Dems prioritize a bit more.

They’d prioritze it a lot if blacks became a 15% voting monolith. But that is hard to organize.

Conservatives as a rule don't use the n word at all. You can always find an exception or two, but how do you explain the literal dozens on the left who referred to Justice Thomas this past week with the n word, and clearly meaning it in the worst way? And you'll note that the vast majority of those posts are still up a week later.

I think you'll find that it's the left who uses racist language the vast majority of the time, and are rarely made to pay any price for it.

when has a Republican ever pretended to be pro black? Republicans prefer to make policy outside of racist identity politics. they see the man before the black man. one rule for all man. they may highlight the benifit their policy has on black people to defend themselves from charges of racisim from racist Democrats that use them as a loyal voting block but have no real intention of creating benificial policy for them

[Smile_empty_soul]

Lol these are my political leanings. And most republicans do not say that. If they do, they are a closet Democrat.

[Anonymous]

They want to not be told what to do.

I commend your kind of republican you're one of the good kinds.

You'll get a lot of shit for this but you're on the good side.

I think you better look at your history. Take a look at your history before you start condemning people. It all started back in 1865. The Democrats did not take control of this thing until later because they knew they were losing the election. Take a look at Lyndon Johnson.

A Libertarian Republican? Sorry, that's a contradiction in terms :) Why not just say "Libertarian"? Are conservative Libertarians that different from "liberal" Libertarians? What am I missing - I don't think so?

[Sargentcaptain]

Juri Vips losing his career over a word is fucking stupid. God knows if the dude even really understands what that word means.

[gorydetails]

what is your exact question? IF you're that offended by the 'n word' then you really ought to never listen to rap.

[RolandCuthbert]

Who the hell is Juri Nips?

And most folks in America outside of the African-American and Latino communities do not use the word.

[Sargentcaptain]

Juri Nips, nobody. Juri Vips is an Estonian Formula 2 driver and an ex Red Bull academy member who, thanks to that academy, had a good shot at becoming a Formula 1 driver soon. Few days ago he had a livestream with a colleague, they were messing around and eventually Vips said ''nigga''. Red Bull investigated the event and kicked Vips out of their academy.

@Sargentcaptain I literally thought he dropped the hard r

[RolandCuthbert]

@Sargentcaptain I don't think any American is going to care much about Estonia. I don't think any American here can find Estonia on a map.
