    Yeah, it doesn’t seem to ... work.

    Yeah, yeah. He's a "I have black friends" racist. He is one of those guys who would swear on a stack of Bibles and believe it that he's not racist. It's baked into him, though.

    You forgot how many of his fellow racists he has hired, too.

    But yes. He exclusively goes after people of color on Twitter. You think he goes after a white Gold Star family? He's gone after a Muslim one and a Black one. I'm sure it's coincidence.

    Reject the premise.

    Yay, more stereotypes. You're on a real heater, bright lights.

    Multi-tasking, right? I own the failure and denounce myself.

    I do think the "logic" of saying "It's only a slur if it's used against certain people, but not against others" is odd.

    Note the woman's email address. She must read SJ.

    I'm trying to get my head around it, too. If I had a white friend and he was super into "Despacito," and I called him a "beaner," that wouldn't be OK, right?

    Is it racist if one African-American calls another a nigger?

    If I called a black man a “creepy-ass cracker,” it’d be weird, offensive, you name it. But would it be racist? Definitely an odd line of thought.

    That's not the analogy, though. Trump's not a Native American.
