If he said it to be rude (which he claims he didn't, and it seems he didn't) then that's a dickish thing to do but even if that was his intention imagine being an adult, not just any adult but one who is supposed to be a leader of sorts and crying because someone called you a mean word.

I seriously can't think of a single string of words someone could say to me that would elicit that type of reaction. This is what happens when people give too much weight and power to a word in their minds.

And hopefully is such a thing happens the assailants are arrested and charged with assault. Physically attacking someone for saying a mean word (not even to them, or at that moment mind you so it would be premeditation and not "a crime of passion") isn't something that should be happening past middle school age or room temp IQ on the part of the person who can't control themselves.

It's according to what your definition of the word racist is. What a lot of the public's definition is, I might be a racist. But according to what the true definition of a racist is, absolutely not," he told the station.

There are people who very seriously consider every single white person to be racist simply by existing, that they have an orginal sin of sorts. When a word has lost all meaning like that it makes sense to elaborate on what your personal definition of it is when asked if it applies to you.

If people bastardzing language to use it as a weapon doesn't bother you or you're short on time and not giving an interview (the entire point of an interview being getting the thoughts of someone) sure I guess. You're acting like he didn't ultimately say "no" or something. Perhaps under your definition of the word racist you classify everyone who doesn't immediately deny being one with a simple one word response as a racist?

If your answer to "are you a racist?" includes "some people would consider me to be a racist" and not just "no," that's a pretty good sign that you actually are a racist and just aren't willing to admit to it.

Some people would consider almost anyone a racist, like I said a not insignificant number of people think all white people are racist so by definition that idea of "some people think I'm a racist" is factually ingrained whenever a white person answers that question regardless of if they vocalize it or are even aware.

You could ask someone "Are you evil?" and virtually everyone on the planet would be under the same "well some people think I am" position based on at least some of their beliefs or actions. Some people think anyone who is Pro-choice is evil, so anyone pro-choice is logically evil in the eyes of some. Some people think that anyone who is pro-life is evil, and so on and so on.

Admitting that some people think poorly of you or think you are something you aren't isn't self condemnation, it's common sense.

Oh, besides the anti-natalism bit, we're getting a pretty clear picture of the type of person you are.

Adults don't need to be calling people names when they're in positions of responsibility. Especially the damn N word? Calling anyone something derogatory during any work/government work meeting nearly invalidates anything you ever have to say in that workplace.

Remember a few years ago, where every instance of blatant racism was met with protests of "it's not like they said the n-word, it probably wasn't race related"?

Hard to believe we've actually moved past that point.

You're changing the subject. I clearly said that IF he said it as an insult then that would be a rude thing to do. You felt the need (I assume from being sore over the thrashing I gave you in that other topic) (bad show for carrying hostility between topics btw) to call me out for not condemning him... when that's exactly what I did.

The key here is IF he meant it as an insult. I know that you like to ignore facts when they don't fit your narrative but there is literally video of the moment it happened, it wasn't said with any venom and it wasn't even directly aimed at the chick. Also technically he said House N*****, not N*****, which has a different connotation especially in the southn even if it is equally offensive the context matters. Right afterwards he explains why he said what he said as well.

The guy claims he was repeating something a higher official, the Mayor said. I suppose he thought the shock of it being spoken during a meeting would have more of an impact than just telling some reporter or something, and he was right but not in a good way. So yeah, probably not the best way of going about it but if what he said is true than he obviously wouldn't be a racist for saying it.

Think about it like this. What if this council member guy was black himself and he pulled the exact same stunt for the exact same (claimed) reason? People would be treating him like a hero and calling for the resignation of the Mayor. Isn't treating people differently based on the color of their skin the essence of racism? If someone automatically distrusted black people when it came to certain subjects that person would be a racist, why is it alright to assume the worst about white people when it comes to this subject? If you say "well statistically whites are more likely to..." whatever you could say the exact same thing about black people on negative things, or any race for that matter.

I like how neither one of you even bothered to try to refute anything I said. Go ahead and put me on ignore or whatever if my presence bothers you that much and you can't even be bothered to attempt to have a good faith argument with me. Even if I am wrong, at least I put in the time and effort to back up what I say, someone like that is far more respectable than someone who simply insults others and acts like they're infallible.

You can say the N word without automatically being a racist is my main point though, context matters. Lile my hypothetical, if a black guy said the phrase "so and so called me a N*****" would anyone in their right mind consider him a racist against black people for merely uttering the word aloud? The guy is pretty dumb for doing what he did, but it doesn't automatically follow that he's a racist. Condemn him for the first thing fine, but I'm not comfortable condemning someone to the equivalent of the social death penalty if there is a shadow of a doubt in the situation which I think exists here. Anyone who thinks differently is welcome to, but they shouldn't be acting like they know what his true intention was with 100% certainty.

Well it depends on what your definition of the word racist is. What a lot of the public's definition is, I might be a racist. But according to what the true definition of a racist is, I'm absolutely not.

You talk about context but are trying to equate this with some rando black guy saying the same thing. Thats not the same context. Even if it was a rando white guy saying that, it's still NOT the same as a city councilman saying it. Why are you putting him on the same level as some street guys. Guess that's the problem with US politics, officials are not held to any standard. The actual context here is a white government official using racially charged language regarding black people, in a state infamous for its racial problems even by US standards. He should have known better. Full stop. But the fact he isn't apologising (and planning on a mayor run no less) says that he doesn't think voters in Alabama hold him to any standards either.
