He said this in private conversation.

I suppose we are now allowed to call for EVERYONE who has called a colleague a name in private conversation to RESIGN FROM THEIR JOB.

He just needs to say that he identifies as black and everything will be cool.

Guy has apologized.

That was his first mistake. Never apologize because your opponents will use this as an admission of guilt. Just move on.

Big mistake.

When will Conservatives, i.e., Cuckservatives, learn to NEVER apologize?

So much for Trump's victory heralding the end of the age of political correctness, if anything, the left has moved the PC witch hunts into high gear and the right seems to be even less willing to defend their own and faster to just role over and cower in the corner than before Trump was elected as the un-PC President.

He’s Cuban American. In Cuban Spanish, negrito (or, more often, negrita - because the speaker is talking about a woman) and morenita are terms of endearment - whether you’re black or not.

That said, if he wants to make the big time or even hold onto his seat, he’s got to learn that the knives are out for him.

I reprimand all people who call me ma’am. Growing up, my mother did not allow us kids to call her ma’am. I totally get it.

Well, of course. He’s a Republican, and the left wants to destroy him in revenge for losing the presidency.

I’m divided.

I want political correctness to end and I think people should be able to say stuff and not need to apologize constantly. It’s never enough, so why try to satisfy the people who refuse to be satisfied?

At the same time, a Republican using that kind of language is an idiot. People will find out. People will destroy you. You can see it coming a mile away, so why not use your brain and not say “niggas”?

Sen. President Joe Negron should change his “offensive” name.

In 1978 I was walking in a park in PA. I saw a woman on a log who was watching her hubby and some teens fishing. I stopped and said “Ma’am, DO NOT move.” She stood up and started yelling about me calling her ma’am and “don’t tell me what.....” That was when the rattler nailed her above the knee. I said “ Have a nice day”. and continued on my walk. They were a mile or two away from the parking lot. Never heard what happened to her.

Better yet, switch parties and he would instantly be the media darling and hero to the left.
