I think many would disagree with that statement. But then again you ppl in politics have proven to be very petty and aggressive when it comes to being disagreed with... this topic is an example.

When I grew up in Sweden, the N-word simply meant a darkskinned person who originates or have ancestors that originates from Africa.
And with N-word, I mean the lighter version, the one that Martin Luther King, Jr. used in his "I Have a Dream" speech of 1963. The worse version was never used until gangster rap became popular.
And yes, we knew about slavery and the Civil Right Movements, but the way we saw it was that you had poisoned your version of the word. Since we never used the word in a negative way, we had no problems with using it. Black immigrants had no problems with the word, so why would we?
If we wanted to use an offensive term, then we simply used blatte, which can be compared to kanake.

I didn't know they had gangster rap in the southern US in the 1800s! I guess you learn something new every day!!!!

Their word it's true that I believe in free healthcare free college minimum wage increase to a living wage and getting money out of politics. But I'm also in favor of the American Empire and expanding our power to put our well being the well-being of our people above that of all other nations and remaining the world's sole superpower.

It's only bad if the nation is oppressing its own people or not working for its own people's common good. There is nothing inherently wrong with nationalism

Probably people who are opposed to mass killings of people for reasons ranging from having the wrong opinion, lack of food, or just being suspected of not being an ally. You know most rational people.

nothin' wrong with that if it worked out for him, the idea that people on the left actually do research is sort of silly though, seems pretty clear to me that 'both sides' get by with a lot of just-so reasoning and a generous helping of moralizing as a substitute for reason and research but that's jmo

no

humans have biases. society also has biases that get imprinted on everyone who lives in it.

if you think you are neutral, it means you're so deeply entrenched in your own ideology that you don't even recognize it as such.
