All anybody knows about anyone on here is from their posts.
The 'n' word is a sign of disrespect. I don't use it either (unless it's emphasize a point about it) because you must respect yourself before you expect others to do so. Neither do my children use it, or friends who are black around me. To know me is to know I don't tolerate the word around me and even in bars on the jukebox.
This a political forum, so the actions and values of politicians and policy is what I debate. With some personal digs when I see fit.
If I interpreted the individual as racist- I come right out and say it. Plenty will point it out my past posts on that.
If you use racist language, I will call it out. Not language that you don't believe or intend to be racist, but language and terms that racists actually use. If you ignore that language and supported by racists and offensive to racial minorities because of your individual interpretation, then I will absolutely call out that racist language.
You used racist language whether you acknowledge or meant it, you did. Summing up the protests to lawlessness, and labeling protesters as scum and thugs, ignores the millions, yes millions who protest with rioting or looting, and the message behind the protest as well as the progress it's brought.
It was one of the main points of strong disagreement the black employees, including on air talent, at Fox News had with senior management. That's right, the few conservative leaning black people have problems with racism around the same issues are liberal blacks like me.
A heated early June call between Fox execs and Black staffers was just the beginning of an internal revolt against racism at the network, insiders told The Daily Beast.

The Daily Beast says it spoke with more than a dozen Fox News insiders, who suggested "there is a growing despair among employees about the network’s role in demonizing and spreading fear about Black Americans."
