    Have to weigh in on this because it happened to me in high school. Now all my best friends were black. I lived with the original "Archy Bunker", this is not an exaggeration. Case in point my sex talk was " "if you get pregnant I'll disown you. If by a N I'll kill you ,a W(Italian) I'll kill you both. Not a nice guy. Note the attitude towards Italians.
    Well between my friends using the N word like all the time ,just off hand and the old man using it as being derogatory . One day while having a bad day someone did something and the I'm not your N waiter popped out of my mouth and I IMMEDIATELY was shocked and so embarrassed.
    Now I don't know the circumstance of this guy is but I do know that when your brain hears something enough times it subconsciously files it and whether you would consciously say something or not your brain will pull things from the subconscious in times when emotion is over riding common sense, for the lack of a better word.
    BTW the above is not an excuse , just an understanding. So perhaps NO one should be using , not racist words, but derogatory and degrading words

    You were in high school your brain was not fully developed, zero excuse for an adult to utter that word.

    I don't know I believe adult people say and do things in the heat of an extreme moment or an argument that they wouldn't normally do and regret what ever it was. Things I've heard people say I don't know why I said or did something after things calm down.

    Emotionally retarded people lose control of their emotions, not something that I tolerate in a spouse or offspring.

    My Oh my! Cuomo, Diblasio , and the NY AG had Clinton appointed federal judge slap their bottoms. I should put this in the best things in life thread
    king Andy got at least one leg of his thrown kicked out from under him.
    I don't personally believe in "organized" religion but God bless all that do and can now worship as they wish. Not all priest are bad, it took two to rap Cuomos knuckles.

    You wield a pretty broad brush there 0317. Fortunately my world isn’t all black or white. A little nuance goes a long way!

    ^^ then you are either blind, stupid or ignorant or any combination of those .... the Marxist dems/socialists are out to overthrow and destroy this great country via the militant arm of the DNC using Antifa/BLM and THAT is a fact ... both Antifa/BLM are terrorist organizations, the leaders of BLM are avowed Marxist's and those within Antifa have claimed multiple times their need/want to destroy this country .. wake up and smell the coffee .. piss on BLM/Antifa and the f'n democrats !! ... if it is civil war they want, they will lose, big time ...

    one of the many great articles outlining what BLM is ...
