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 😕.

    Testing out the waters. Seeing what they can get away with so they can get back to the n-word in the future.

      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.

        No, he’s playing 4D chess.

        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 think it’s probably a combination of the two theories you and mozz have.

          He was assigned to attack her, didn’t have a weapons-grade talking point ready, and had to rely on his own brain for something. A “black” sorority isn’t going to do it . . hmmm . . hmmm . . AH. “Colored” isn’t the N word, and it hasn’t been used in a long time, so people will probably pick up on it - I’m a genius! Yes. Clearly. I have cracked the case on how to insult her race without using the n word! I love evil!

      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”.

      Which, of course, isn’t working.

        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.

        removed” only makes white people uncomfortable. We removeds use it as a term of endearment.

          I’ve been told many times that hearing it from a white person is very unpleasant for many black people. Maybe it doesn’t bother you, but I kind of doubt you speak for a majority of black people, so I’ll keep trying to err on the side of not offending people. I know I don’t like being called a racial slur, even though all the ones for white people are very tame and lack any serious historical baggage.

                Not only am I black, I’ve a handful of degrees and a PhD, a couple of firearms, and lots of money I took from your retirement and donated to others like me with far less education. Neolibs are more afraid than MAGA.

                  Yeah, I get it. You look down on me and presume to know my politics purely because I’m white. I, OTOH, look down on you because you’ve gone out of your way to be an asshole.

      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.

            Thank you!!! And when was the NAACP formed. During segregation, where that word takes all it’s American context.

          People refer to themselves as it there. I did find it odd originally, it’s not to do with racism though.

    I haven’t seen this guy for awhile. I see he told his doctor he was suffering from “low T”.

    Gender affirming care is a crime in Florida, Bri. Also your effort to be more “manly” is comical to me.

    Other fun words and phrases you can look forward to: darkies, sub-human, Uncle Tom, shorter version of raccoon, mud-people, those people, etc.

    The right is gonna have a ball talking about this race. No pun was intended, but one could be inferred.
