quote:

Gary Landrieu, an independent who is running a little chance campaign for Louisiana governor, is facing backlash after he used the n-word on local talk radio.


quote:

“Let me tell you, when I was a kid we learned about protecting ourselves and defending ourselves because we were called a lot of ugly names as children,” Landrieu said during an episode of “The Right Chicks” on New Orleans’ WGSO 990 show this week. "As an eight-year-old, they called me, ‘Oh, there’s the n*****-lovers right there." Landrieu, a cousin of former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, was chided by the hosts of the show.

Yikes! I get what he was trying to say, but as a cracker, he should have used better judgement.

I think it was used appropriately. I see no foul here.

Imagine if that word was used in rap music how accessible it would be the rest of the planet. Oh wait....

I have no sympathy for the word considering how widely it is used by non whites. If it is that bad, nobody should use it.

So? No care here.

Serious. It's a word. "But, but it means something something!"

I'm conflicted.

Saying "n-word" rather than just the actual word when not using it in a derogatory manner is flat out pathetic.

But, then again. He belongs to the group that created that pathetic paradigm and caters to it

How in the world do a single word gain so much power? It’s just a word.

There is nothing wrong with this context.

People are too damn sensitive.

Gary is such a frickup that I often wonder if Mitch and Mary pay him to run just to make the GOP look bad.

All of y’all are discussing the merits of whether the word was used correctly, shouldn’t be used at all, and / or how did we get here with a word being so “powerful”.

I feel like everyone is missing the big picture. Did he just admit that him (a white person) “loving” (either being a friend, dating, or sexually attract to...) a black person is some kind of insult? An insult noteworthy enough to bring up in this day and age.

Seems like he would have known better to not even use that as an example of “protecting ourselves and defending ourselves because we were called a lot of ugly names as children”

Eta: not to mention isn’t this the jackass that beat up a hooker and drug her with his car 10 years or so ago? Why is he running? Didn’t he learn anything from our last governor election?!?! Hell that guy even treat the hooker with some compassion, didn’t so much as pull her hair without permission.

The poster Tzimme4 said he's voting for Gary Landrieu.

And he has the nerve to shite all over Abraham and Rispone as terrible candidates when he's voting for a political candidate who think it's a good idea to say the hard N word on air.

Recognized the last name. Would never consider voting for any Landrieu.
