With VP Kamala Harris now officially running for president, the alleged racists on the Right are foaming at the mouth. Case in point, on Tuesday morning (July 24), during a segment on Fox and Frien…
Edit: Guys, watch the video. He clearly said “college.” I am sorry for posting misinformation; I didn’t watch the video first, and just assumed it was legit 😕.
I think you are assigning far too much planning and intelligence to Brian Kilmeade. They haven’t got their talking points really together for her yet, but he is assigned to attack her in some way, and so this is the kind of stuff his brain comes up with when he doesn’t have content put together for him by professionals.
jk. In reality he probably was raised and exists in a world so far from black people that he thinks "colored" is an often used and acceptable term. Kind of like my grandmother did who was born in 1935 and died in 2007.
I like how they’ve pretty much moved on from even trying to say “we’re not racist” to “can all of us just pretend not to be racist for a while so we won’t lose the election”.
The N word has a lot more implied in its use. I'd say it's more in line with the Spanish word for black, whose implications are mostly derived from historical racial "science" than hate. So its use is far more likely because of older sensibilities, but is not in itself proof of hate.
I’d say it’s an archaic term that is definitely offensive when not used in an ironic (e.g. ‘many Republicans don’t like it when the women and “colored folk” have… opinions’) sense.
I think it's not PC because it essentially creates two buckets, white and colored, but it's only as offensive as the case it is used. You can make any adjective a pejorative with enough venom behind it.
Ah yes, South Africa, bastion of non racist glory! No one uses the word colored in a non racist context in North America. Brian Kilmeade is from New York.
The first word out of this dudes mouth to describe a group of black women being addressed by another black woman was by referring to them as colored. That's called showing your ass, he just showed us his slimy little racist ass.
