re: #126 Decatur Deb

Perversely, that’s a good thing. Now the National Education Association and other public-sector unions have something more to identify with.

Oh, there’s a thousand ways to say n***** without actually saying it.

Urban, them, those people, street, hip-hop, gangbanger, rappers, gangstas, low-jean-wearers, “African-American” (the scare quotes tell you “I am a gigantic racist), apes, brothers, ghetto, homie, Leroy, etc. etc.

You just got to throw the right intonation in there and everyone knows what you mean. Out of an asshole like Hannity’s mouth “Well-educated young black professional” could be a virulent smear.
