re: #69 Charles Johnson

In a weird way he’s sorta right, because the “better off as slaves” argument is really not unusual among conservative politicians/pundits. But when Bundy prefaced that with “the nigra,” he made it very clear where that argument is coming from.

Having listened to the tape, I think people are giving Bundy too much benefit of the doubt that he was trying to say negro vs. the n-word. At the very least, he’s mangling the pronunciation so he can get ever-so-close to saying the n-word and not be taken to task for it.
