The author states that there is no way around using a racial slur in this, I strongly disagree, I can do it.

The author states that there is no way around using a racial slur in this, I strongly disagree, I can do it. I agree with the article as well, it is the wrong question. The correct question is why do the Bidens, Democrats and most celebrities get a pass?

Direct Quotes:

The story gained national attention because of what Carmona was heard saying on a recording Johnson made to document the abuse at the office.

"I'm gonna give it to you hard-core," Carmona was heard saying on the recording. "You and her are very bright ... but y'all act like [N-word] ... seriously."

"The case against Rob Carmona and the employment agency he founded, STRIVE East Harlem, hinged on the what some see as a complex double standard surrounding the word: It's a degrading slur when uttered by whites but can be used at times with impunity among blacks."

As we saw this week in the Carmona case, it's not clear that black people can't say [N-Word] to other black folks without consequence.

Last year, when Gwyneth Paltrow tweeted a photo captioned "Ni**s in paris for real" from a Jay Z and Kanye West concert in France, it ignited a minor controversy. Russell Simmons, Paltrow's friend, rushed to her defense, saying that the actress "didn't mean any harm." That ain't go over too well, because, again, it's not within Simmons' (or anyone else's) power to give Paltrow a blanket pass.

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

Actually after this comment she was told people are going to think you’re pandering to the black community where she said “is it working”. Direct Quotes: In a radio interview Monday morning, Hillary Clinton was asked to name something she carries with her everywhere she goes. “Hot sauce,” she answered. “Yeah.” The Clinton campaign has confirmed to TIME the type and brand of hot sauce now toted by the Democratic front runner for the presidential nomination: Ninja Squirrel, a Sriracha from the in-house brand of Texas-based Whole Foods Market. “And we continue to carry chili flakes and jalapeños around,” says Clinton campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill. Clinton was speaking to one of New York’s largest hip-hop and R&B stat...

Joe Biden should take the same test.

https://www.nytimes.com/article/trump-cognitive-test.html Joe Biden should take the same test. The media, including the Washington Post, continued to down play the difficulty of the test and even said the test is too “blunt” of an instrument and for most people it’s too “easy” and “the test is not that difficult”. If that is true, then the genius that is president now should have no problem! Direct Quote: But it is by no means definitive, or even diagnostic, experts pointed out. And as the president tries to draw a contrast between his mental faculties and those of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a fellow septuagenarian he expects to face off against in November’s election, some experts criticize his politicization of such cognitive screening tests. “You would think he would understand clearly what the test result was and why the test was done,” Dr. Karlawish said, “and not turn it into a competition about mental health.” This screening test was designed about 20 years ago as a pos...
