Good point. I think it’s time we replace the N word with the O word.
When the black and brown racists get taken to the woodshed for their constant and shameless racism, then I’ll listen.
No one should accept the double standard anymore.
BS - he was making an allegorical point and the social justice warriors like yourself cringed because the word hurt their ears.
It is entirely a leftist issue destroying logic and rationale on this planet and trolls like yourself don’t help the situation.
It was a PR firm on a private conference call that publicized the matter to virtue signal and further attack someone who stood up to BLM
“The Left has lost their minds.”
Oh, I wasn’t aware they had a mind to begin with.
“Looks to me like the Papa John’s board simply wanted him out, and used the “racist slur” BS to frame him.”
How did they ‘frame him?’
I’m glad George Carlin isn’t alive to see how crazy people go today about words used in contexts that aren’t racist are taken as examples of racism.
Hahahahaha...that made me laugh...great movie!
It was a business decision by the marketing company.
They were on the call, they heard him say that, they quit.
Why would anyone oppose the marketing company’s right to cut ties with a pizza company?
Is the word “Niggardly” still taboo?
Because of a quote...so what.
This sentence is very ill-phrased.
I think they meant to say: "...people would drag Black people behind trucks until they died."
Does anyone know if Forbes is looking for a good copy-editor? I might be available...
Regards,
If Chelsea mentions that Sen Byrd (D-WV) said “n*gger” in a live 2001 interview, twice, that does NOT make Chelsea the racist.
“It was a PR firm on a private conference call that publicized the matter to virtue signal and further attack someone who stood up to BLM”
Well then, perhaps John Schnatter can sue the marketing company, and take the stand in a civil trial.
I’ve recently started observing Instagram. You run into all sorts of stuff there.
I’ve run across some music with the “N” word repeated over and over. Hey, no problem, because of the people who came up with the song.
It bothered me, because I never use the word. I have gone months, perhaps years without hearing it. That’s why I so seldom think of it.
It bothered me to hear it so often. I don’t want that word in my head.
You’ve got to wonder why anyone would. Anyone!
Not representing him is a business decision.
Publicizing it is not and is a political attack.
“Because of a quote...so what.”
Is it within the marketing company’s rights to cut ties with Papa Johns?
Sure.
What he said was not a racial slur.
This kind of thing has got to stop.
I’m telling you, I don’t think these midterms are going to be close. Regular people are sick of this kind of thing.
Is publicizing a private recording of a private conversation within a company’s rights?
