As [NABJ president Ken] Lemon was preparing that statement, Trump walked onto the stage.

    But the racists you’re speaking of aren’t using it in public.

    Yet. Which is my point.

    Because they know it’s offensive, hurtful, and they’ll get blowback for it.

    But you can’t handle it when someone who isn’t trying to be offensive said it.

    That’s why I called it out

    And then you continued to talk about how much it hurt you. Repeatedly. And then claimed I didn’t care about anyone’s feelings because I didn’t care if a word that people use in much ways hurt you when I used it.

    By the way, you have no idea what my skin color is. I wonder if that would matter?
