Using the n-word because of Rove v. Wade overturn is no excuse (1 Viewer)

This is happening on Twitter right now. Either they're trying to be edgy or make their comment have more "impact" by using the n-word against the Black judge, Judge Thomas, who voted against abortion rights. Nothing is ever any excuse to be racist. And I'm seeing this from so called democrats and progressives who think it will somehow help their pro-choice stance. I know a lot of women are upset but people to know their priorities. And going down to Trump supporter level ain't.

The decision was definitely a setback for America, and I disagree with it immensely. But despite how someone feels about this judge’s decision, racism isn’t and will never be okay.

I noticed people who identify as progressive think they got some sort of pass on saying racist things. They say they do it for some kind of effect, but that's bs. No such thing as a "free pass" on racism, even when it's Black people doing it to other Black people.

Racism is never ok or needed period.
Ignorance isn't an excuse either.
Know what you say and how it affects others.

I agree with you, no matter your political beliefs or affiliation, there is no such thing as a free pass on racism. Using that word (unless reclaimed) is never okay.

I felt the same when a member [Ben Savage] of the LGBT community called members of the Log Cabin Republicans [gay republican] house fa***ts.

Doesn't make sense. Disagreeing with someone means you disagree with them, not be racist.

Yeah that's definitely not okay. I don't like him much because of his ideology and what side he went with on this case, but racism is never the solution.
