New York (CNN Business) — Roger Stone, the political operative who avoided 40 months in prison after US President Donald Trump commuted his sentence earlier this month, denied on Sunday using the word Negro on air toward a Black radio host.
The exchange took place on Saturday during Stone's appearance on "The Mo'Kelly Show," a Los Angeles-based radio broadcast. Host Morris O'Kelly questioned Stone on his conviction for lying to Congress and tampering with evidence by threatening a witness involved with Trump's 2016 campaign. He then asserted that Stone's sentence was commuted because of his longtime friendship with Trump.
"There are thousands of people treated unfairly daily, how your number just happened to come up in the lottery, I am guessing it was more than just luck, Roger, right?" O'Kelly asked.
Stone's voice was faint over the phone following O'Kelly's question. A voice could be heard murmuring "arguing with this Negro." O'Kelly then asked Stone to repeat the comment, but there was silence from Stone's end of the line.
"I'm sorry you're arguing with whom? I thought we were having just a very spirited conversation," O'Kelly said. "What happened? ...You said something about 'Negro.'"
After a brief silence, Stone said he had not, adding, "You're out of your mind."

When did negro become a racial slur?
I remember The United Negro College Fund.
The word “negro” is no racial slur, except in the mind of a race baiter.
They’re just not gonna give up, are they?
Of course, with today's woke crowd, they can make up rules on the spot.
Black isn’t a racial slur either. If it is, then white is also a racial slur.
When did the term “negro” become racial slur?
Malcolm X used it all the time to refer to blacks and not in a derogatory manner.
Next they are going to tell us calling someone black is derogatory.
Blacks call Whites “crackers” all the time with no complaints from CNN.
Long before “black” became a racial slur. (lower case b)
“Racial slur” was still free speech last time I looked.
Next they are going to tell us calling someone black is derogatory.

It IS derogatory term. The correct usage is Capital B. Black.
The Ass Press says so.
I thought it was the so-called n-word.
They don’t like Negro but it’s not the same quite as its bastardization.
When did negro become a racial slur?
About 50 years ago. Anyone using that word looks buffoonish.
But now, due to BLM, you MUST capitalize it.
Whereas “white” remains lower case.
Stone should have never gone on a Negro’s program. We don’t need to listen to them on the radio, except Bo Snerdley. We don’t need them in movies. We don’t need them on TV. Negroes represent about 12% of the population and we don’t need to forced on us 88% of the time.
since they say so. THEY can say it, but anyone who is not Negro can’t say it.
They are all crazy with power now.
Is there still a NAACP??
Is being buffoonish racist?
I always capitalize White now.....just sayin’. I will also capitalize Asian. ; )
Remember the NAACP? Something about colored people...
