re: #179 Charmingly Persistent

I am pretty taken aback by a white person using the n-word here. I feel like that is out of line and borderline racist without a really good reason. I see several people have up-voted this, so maybe I’m wrong, but I felt like I needed to say something.

I’m not comfortable with it either, but sometimes we have to experience uncomfortable things. Teleskiguy wasn’t using the word as coming from him however, he was channeling (so to speak) the attitude of Bristol Palin and the rest of the Alt-Right faction too many of the Palins and their sycophants adhere to.

Read it as Palin’s words, not teleskiguy’s. Teleskiguy is blunt but he’s not racist. I’ve known him for 9 years, and disagreed with many things he’s said, but he’s never given me the idea he’s racist in any way.
