Default GOP Alabama councilperson uses N-word

Do we have a house ****** in here?

If you know anything about slavery, then the term he used takes it a stage further. Pretty appalling but not surprising.

Absolutely agree with that bit. He'll get rich off this.

…in response to accusations of racist language…Bryant said… “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,"

….’ Earlier in the meeting, Bryant also falsely stated that Muslims are compelled by their religion to kill non-believers. …’…


… ‘… Veronica Freeman was visibly upset and left the meeting sobbing….’….poor lady…

Gross.

It was just so bare-faced, you'd think he'd pretend to not be racist by using veiled-but-still-racist language like "Uncle Tom". There's no excuse for the GOP to not call him out in any way.

Exclamation

What he said was he was just repeating what the mayor had said and had got away (the mayor is black)

so he repeated it as he knew it would get the attention

"[The mayor] doesn't need to use that term in front of everybody and I thought the city ought to know the terminology the mayor uses and I didn't want him to get away with it," Bryant said.

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/n...rd/8040148002/

The Mayor denies this

I still think you have to really want to say the word as a white person. Like this thread when I left the N-word to the forum censors, as opposed to the Enid Blyton thread when it was typed out using N1g...

There is no good explanation for a white person to use that word. Ever.

the guy didn't frame it as parroting what the mayor was supposed to have said, which would typically be how that would be done if it were contentious. His body language also didnt indicate he was parroting. So I call bollox

Are we even surprised people are defending him...

Even if he was repeating it, it doesn't excuse the language. Bryant should not have used that word. In any context, ever. Point blank.

Jesus Christ this guy is dumb.

Like Oliver W has said, he could've been so much more sneaky with his racism.

I wish more racists in the public eye were this blatant though as it stops people from supporting them.
