Gov. Cuomo drops N-word in radio interview while talking about discrimination against Italian-Americans

 

[Erzengel]

Is it because they want to take away their Columbus Day?

 

[Schlosser85]

.....he was talking in context of derogatory terms Italian-Americans used to be called, including "n---er wops."

Context, people.

 

[Teelie]

In outrage culture context is meaningless.

 

[Schlosser85]

I knew a guy in person who once said "an Italian is just a ****** turned inside out". So that's....a thing, I guess.

Context, people.

There was LITERALLY a Sunday NYTimes Week In Review piece that was about that this last Sunday, discussing how so many groups "became" White, but for the longest time were not allowed into that franchise, if you will.

As stated... Context, people.

Progressives, let us not live up to the caricature others make of you, is that too hard to ask? The Gov. wasn't yelling the word at random African Americans on the street, he was talking in historical terms like that Times piece that in fact also used it.

Besides... Isn't it quite apparent that politically speaking we as a nation have far larger fish to fry as a whole?

 

[Schlosser85]

You meet the nicest people.

lol, wealthy businessman and his wife who doesn't own the money but loves spending it. They used to be wild to hang out with drunk. She'd sit me and my then-boyfriend down and show us the most ****ed up straight people porn she could find because she thought it was hilarious (some of it kinda was.....people putting batteries and vegetables in places).

I haven't seen them in person in ages and ended up unfriending her on Facebook because I got sick of seeing all the incessant anti-Muslim crap she'd post. She's the type who believes anything she sees on the internet or what Fox News tells her and gets freaked out about it.

Last I heard he was running for city council as a hardcore Trumpeteer.

BBC - Bulgaria v England: Euro 2020 qualifier temporarily halted due to racist behaviour from fans

Credit to the Bulgaria captain for trying to get his sides fans under control, a few years ago that would never have happened.

A mother's warning: If you have white teen sons, listen up ... - CNN

 

[Lighthouse]

I guess this would go here. I.....I don't know what to say.

 

[I Am The Knight]

That's so wrong

Progressives, Hispanics are not 'Latinx.' Stop trying to Anglicize our Spanish language.

Gov. Cuomo drops N-word in radio interview while talking about discrimination against Italian-Americans

What's his name? I only know his brother's name, Chris Cuomo from CNN. They just keep referring to him as Gov. in that article.

 

[Schlosser85]

Well that is what they do.

Last time millions of people were killed, I think it was ostensible Christians doing it to Jews.

So, the University of North Carolina system secretly set up a donation to a Confederate group. Settled literally minutes after the lawsuit was filed. And the confederate group's local leader who arranged it wrote a pretty condemning congratulatory letter.

A nice twitter thread about it as well.

 

[Schlosser85]

Can he just get hit by a bus or something?

George Zimmerman suing Trayvon Martin’s family and others for $100 million

 

[Sithborg]

Jesus. You didn't go to jail. Take the win.

He has some perverse craving for attention and gets off on trolling Martin’s family. Like when he wanted to auction off the gun to someone who “wants to own a piece of American history”.

He keeps reaffirming he’s a creep.

It reminds me of OJ, in that everything you thought about them has been confirmed after the trial.
