TBH, I could see her calling her white Jewish husband the n-word (with a soft “a” at the end) after he’s made one too many dad jokes.
A half-white/half-black friend of mine was bullied pretty bad. He handled it pretty well and made up the term “cragger” to describe his racial identity.
I’m sure Jercules doesn’t understand that people who are secure in their skin won’t feel the need to play identity politics.
I wonder how black he thinks he is when no one is around
I wonder what the last president to publicly say the nword was. Like, not Obama alone in the oval office giggling to himself, but a president casually dropping it while doing official president things like a speech or meeting.
Edit: so a quick Google told me Obama used it on a podcast once (while president), so I guess the boring answer is indeed Obama
I guarantee FDR did at some point.
I just assumed like all of them before the fifties did. Which brings me to another interesting question, who was the first president,if there ever was one, to never use it, not even to himself?
I’m gonna go ahead and just strike Nixon and Reagan from the list of potential candidates for you. Also Johnson, since whipping your dick out to win arguments seems like an escalation from saying the most shocking thing you can think of to win arguments.
And given that Obama is the only one that grew up during the civil rights movement and all other presidents were already adults by that point, there probably hasn’t been such a president yet.
If you narrow that to “in adulthood” or “during their presidency”, then I think you’ll start getting some hits. Biden, Bush Jr (though more to avoid being recorded saying it and I wouldn’t hold my breath), Clinton, and Carter would be my guesses for the “during presidency” one. Probably just Carter and maybe Clinton for the “in adulthood” one.
All just speculation though.
Clinton is out, he said it in a speech once.
Why are you taking Reagan off the list? I picture that sob saying it when he talks in his sleep.
You misunderstood. They took Nixon and Reagan off of the “never said it” list, because of course they said it.
Yeah exactly. Nixon’s life was basically a steady stream of slurs, though not sure if it was backed up by actual hate or just indifference (sociopathy/psychopathy?) plus a desire to be edgy… Either way, he definitely said it regularly.
Reagan implemented the war on drugs, which was a hateful act itself, so even without a reputation for language like Nixon had, I’m positive he also said it a lot behind closed doors.
Carter. He’s also the only man from Georgia who’s never used it.
Yea I’m gonna go with Carter. I have a feeling Bush and Reagan were a bit bold with their words behind closed doors.
GWB talked about using it and Barbara Bush literally making him wash his mouth out with soap.
Well then there we go lol
I find it very easy to believe Bush Sr would’ve used it in his time with the CIA
Yea for sure
So has Trump. It’s on tape in the National Enquirer’s vault.
He’s such a washed up loser. Xena was the better show.
I have a dollar here that says Sorbo tries his own run for president sooner or later, trying for the same Trump base.
Mansplaining means explaining things while being a man, so blacksplaining must mean explaining things while being black. I just learned Kevin Sorbo is black.
Said if before, and I’ll say it again: this guy has had multiple strokes. But he’s still a massive, gaping asshole.
Karma punches.
Was he an asshole before the strokes? I think fetterman is an interesting data point on the relationship between brain damage and politics.
This would be a god-tier shitpost if it weren’t real
Interesting how it takes literal brain damage to come up with a modern conservative’s take.
Okay there, lil’ peanut
This cant be real, there is no way one man can be this stupid.
Unfortunately (though hilariously) it’s real.
Ugh
Kamala Harris: “Ok, Kev. You’re a nincompoop. That’s the N-word you meant, right?”
“Nobody” would hurt him more.
Right, I almost forgot about this weirdo among all the other weirdos.
That’s whitesplaining. (Because Kevin Sorbo is, in fact, white.)
As a nerdy kid with longish hair and few male role models, I really, really looked up to this guy. Hercules, Xena, Kull, and then Andromeda.
He fell off my radar for a while but I was pleasantly entertained when I found him in the Mythica series. I’d always thought well of him.
Eventually I heard about God Is Not Dead and looked into the rest of his more right wing work… Its really heartbreaking when people you respected or even idolized as a kid turn out to be so… gross and just… weird.
Now he again pops up on my radar with stupid shit like this. So sad.
May you not live long enough to see and watch your heroes become villains.
It really is. Guy had the opportunity to be great, but got sick. Like losing an aging parent to Fox.
Sucks about Sorbo, but thankfully Lucy Lawless (Xena) is still cool af. If you haven’t seen her in Ash vs Evil Dead, check it out! Good stuff.
And My Life is Murder!
That and she often dunks on Sorbo, what a queen.
When I was a kid I had a pillow version of Hulk Hogan. Now he’s taking pictures and shaking hands with literal nazis.
“Never meet your heroes” applies to just getting to know who they are from a distance too unfortunately.
Oh man. While I was never a huge fan, I had the Tonka Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior Plush/Pillow things. Is that what you mean?
Yeah, Hogan is another guy who is just nuts. I think he’s always been a piece of shit. I heard he notified management of Ventura’s talk of a wrestler’s union which killed it before it could gain any traction.
Not only is he a scab shit but he’s racist as well. You can listen right now to a recording of him saying he’s not going to let his daughter marry a n-
