I’m sure the phrase white n* was very common for most of his life and it looks like he was using it for impact. Not politically wise but doesn’t cancel him either. Seems like he managed to become a pretty successful politician despite his past.

so using that logic, if trumps
speech at the capital only used language he grew up with, that would then be ok?

that’s a pathetic argument, even for you.

he’s a democrat, therefore above criticism.

Just my observation. I don’t think it’s an acceptable thing to say, wasn’t raised with it either, but I know a lot of people who were and they’re much more likely to use the word than most. A politician saying the same thing today would get nuked.

a republican saying it in 2004, would
also have been nuked ( justifiably). that’s the point.

and all any democrat has to do, is apologize. you’d never offer that forgiveness to a republican.

If I believe them sure I would. Regardless your whole point here is to somehow tarnish Biden and it’s not working.
