Yep, Yiddish: Usually Disparaging and Offensive. 8>)

[Robert DeLong]

Yes I know it does. We have all heard that word used, even if we had forgotten we heard it. I was, however, giving the slur meaning for which she was convicted. Of course I disagree with all of these crimes of speech, but that is why I love our country, if it can remain as it does. Which is becoming doubtful.

Interesting that it is illegal to call someone a kaffir in S.A. That is “unbeliever” as in does not think that fellow Mohammed was any prophet.

[arthurus]

NAZIlikes in what will be a very poor and starving country. Big frogs in a rapidly shrinking pond.

The top “black” political class in South Africa is driving the country to become the next Zimbabwe, and we all know how that went.

[Fiji Hill]

...the Polish word for a Polish man - Polak (a woman is a Polka)

Just don't confuse Polka with Półka, which means a shelf.

[gibsosa]

LOL

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

“kaffir,”

WOW! I’ve got lots of histories of the British Empire in which that word is used! Maybe I should burn those along with my H.p. Lovecraft and John Russell stories of the South Seas.

I am reminded of our local Co-Op in which I bought 50 lb of dog food.

GRIMALDI’S DOG FOOD! WOPPING TO PLEASE! DAGO for Grimaldi’s! printed right on the front. It showed a cartoon Boxer dog with boxing gloves on.

[Kid Shelleen]

Wasn't there a South African rap band named "Kaffirs with Attidude"?

[Psalm 144]

Agree 100%.

All who can need to flee. All who cannot flee need to consider how to resist.

If they remain compliant, they will be liquidated in the coming years.

In the “what if” game, one has to wonder how far the Bolsheviks would have gone has WW2 not intervened. Would they have implemented their own version of the Final Solution had they the opportunity? I think that what the Bolsheviks would have done would have made Hitler look like a piker.

They were already doing it! Started with Lenin and the clerical class, landowners and the nobility. Later came Stalin who exterminated all his former friends ('Old Bolsheviks), then deported whole ethnicities (or as many of them as they could lay hands on) the Chechens, Kalmuks, Tartars and others...later came the turn of the Poles, Ukrainians, etc; when that devil died the Jews were teed up to be next. The communists did everything the Nazis did, but they did it for a longer time, over a greater geographical area, and to far more people. The reds taught the hitlerites everything they knew.

It is practically illegal to use our “N-word” here, and not because of a law on the books. If you use it and are attacked, you will be charged with “violating civil rights” - the catch-all our elites use to criminalize anything they want.

[equaviator]

Why wouldn’t the same thing apply to somebody calling any non-atheist an atheist?

[Iron Munro]

Keeping that from ever happening here is worth “literally” fighting for.

Absolutey!

And it highlights the irony of the leftist insanity we are watching today,

They are using their first amendment right of free speech to appeal to the government to take away their second amendment right to be armed.

Yet the second amendment is what keeps the government from taking away their first amendment right to speak freely.
