This story reads like AI slop to get people angry which DailyKOS is known for. There’s a what happened, but there’s quite a few details missing.

Let’s start here, fuck you.
Then, let’s move on to this, someone can be a cunt, and you can call them a cont for being one, but if your first response is to reference their race by calling them a racial slur, then your not as angry about them being a cunt as you are about their race. And that’s the problem.
I don’t know what race you are, but your opinion is shit. Not “your white/black/Indian/Chinese/Mexican/etc opinion is shit”, it’s just you and your opinion that’s shit. See how it’s supposed to work?
“Calling someone” A 5 year old
“A bad word” A derogatory slur
“No worse than murder” Moving the goal post
“blacks”
“mongrel” holy fuck
And she’s raising the cash on a supposedly “christian” go fund me-type site. Apparently “do unto others…” is not a thing with maga christians
There’s no such thing as a good Christian. They’re all just hate-filled assholes itching to go back to lynching.
Pretty hateful thing to say lol
Prove them wrong. Most who loudly proclaim themselves christians, if not all, are more comfortable claiming “Jesus is King” rather than living as He wants them to. They point their fingers at others, spout hatred, and kill in the name of their Lord, rather than help solve poverty, healing the sick, and breaking bread with their neighbours. The billionaire “christians” even try all they can to impose their rigid worldview upon the world, and are (or are indistinguishable from) fascists. The mere existence of them is an affront to the teachings of Jesus Christ; He would throw them out of their temple in disgust. Prove them wrong by ousting these people as the false prophets they are rather than let your children fall to their toxic masculinity, discrimination, and classism.
I’ve got a plan…
The fascists are getting too comfortable.
You don’t even have to ask in what racist shithole country that happened.
bless her heart
People suck.
I’m glad to know I’m not a cunt who plays victim. I hate the n word but if I said it and got my ass kicked I wouldn’t be mad because I’ll know I deserved it.
I hate how these people play victim whenever they face consequences…but can’t wait for Trump to give her the Medal of Honor. ( /s for the trump part)
Can you really say there is not a chance Trump would get involved somehow, get her up on stage etc. Not sure the /s is needed.
I hate being human.
And those same people who gave her money are also the first ones to say, “I have no money.”
The prices are too high, I have not a bean!
Seriously?!! I would let the parents of the child beat that woman’s ass. I would never call a child that name. A matter of fact, I don’t ever say that word to be mean or anything at all. It’s disrespect😤😤 People are really getting annoying…
The video does not include her saying it to the kid directly, but to the man (presumably father) confronting her, multiple times. Then she admits that yeah she did call the child the n-word because “he acts like one”.
She proudly and defiantly doubled and tripled down on it while being openly filmed. All she had to do was move on and nobody would have been the wiser. In a normal world, this would be a clear case of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.
I truly hope the (presumably) dad also has some fundraising going on.
Not being protective of telling children anything such, but I have used ethnic slurs in the past, especially when answering other insults. And when you were being unjustly attacked, then slipped and said something bad, and then are being attacked for that too as if that justified the beginning, then it’s a natural reaction to double down on the unfortunate words too.
So, eh, depends on the situation. I think I have right to answer people attacking me and putting me into a fight-or-flight situation with any words, they’ll still be in the wrong. But if this is not what happened, then using someone’s race as an argument worthy of repetition should be punished.
So, eh, depends on the situation.
No. No it doesn’t.
I don’t understand what the goal behind making this comment could have been. You start off admitting to using ethnic slurs with an almost “whoopsy daisie” tone. The comment you replied to told you the situation but you still add a hypothetical situation about when you think it would be reasonable to use them. And the appeal to “natural reaction” to defend something that should’nt have happened in the first place. “When people question why I shot a guy, my natural reaction is to shoot them too” doesn’t excuse why you did the thing that got you questioned. There is no situation where you are on the right side when using a slur.
Ethnic slurs are a subset of insults here. Not much different from addressing someone’s body features, impairments, life story specifics.
There is no situation where you are on the right side when using a slur.
Of course there is, every time it’s a minor part of the event. Like 3000 is greater than 2001, despite 1 being greater than 0. Seems simple enough.
Ethnic slurs are different because of their historical (and still contemporary) usage in dehumanizing and oppressing groups of people. And, again, why are you listing other ways to insult people, as if they are fine when they’re not?
Life is a rarely a zero-sum exchange, and quite often both sides aren’t perfect people. Just because someone slapped you after you called them a slur doesn’t mean you’re now in the right because they escalated to physical violence.
Like I fundamentally am having trouble relating to you on this. I can’t tell if your mental is that fucked, if you are terrible at explaining something I’m missing, or if you’re trying to troll. I’ve come across differences in opinions, based on severity and direction. It feels like we’re not using the same system.

God, are you dense.

You even write that yourself. When someone is violating your private space or just attacking you on the street because they don’t like you for whatever reason (autistic people get a lot of that) and they are a humiliated good-for-nothing creature with no other ways to reinforce their self-confidence, you might say a lot of things including slurs to get rid of them, and be right.

No, you are trying to play intelligent refusing to admit you get a very simple mechanism.
Aight, we’re done. Your social logic works in a way I am uninterested in interfacing with and your capacity to misinterpret simple scenarios has made the outlook of you developing nuance, unfavorable.
Have fun calling angry people slurs.
Edit: I just had to add that the whole thought process is so fundamentally flawed. Why would you double-down on using inflammatory language like slurs that you’ve noted made them act more aggressively to you, if your goal is purported to get them to leave? They name-drop autism but I ain’t never seen someone so divorced from understanding the cause and effects of social levers before.
Have you considered that the other person here is of perfectly normal intelligence, and you’re just very bad at explaining your position on an extremely sensitive subject? Seriously, I hope you’re just badly fumbling this because oh boy are you presenting yourself like an asshole right now. I’m skeptical that’s it, since you’re clearly lashing out by insulting their intelligence (which frequently correlates) but I also understand how frustrating it can be to try and explain things and be repeatedly told it’s problematic. Maybe take a breath and try this one again. Or just tell me to fuck off, settling the matter and letting us downvote you with a clear conscience
and you’re just very bad at explaining your position on an extremely sensitive subject?
An extremely sensitive subject is normally discussed the same way as an absolutely mundane subject, just very sensitive.
Like a big system is like a small system, just big. And vice versa.
Order of statements in a conversation or actions in a conflict matters, and a statement or an action can have different weight.
Quite obviously if you are generally right, but have used some nasty insults, you are still generally right. Even if the other side is perfectly polite.
They have a simplistic tit-for-tat moral code and ignore the relative degree of contempt telegraphed by different ethnic slurs. Trouble seems to find this sort of person wherever they are. They tend to not be very bright. They will not accept your advice. Best to move on.
They have a simplistic tit-for-tat moral code
The alternatives are limited to “my group is always right” and “I pick one aspect and ignore all others, and the one aspect is always arbitrarily chosen, and when the comparison kinda equals, the result is arbitrarily chosen”. If you have any to add, you are welcome.
And the word “simplistic” is usually used by people unable to defend their position with actual points. It’s kinda useless otherwise.
and ignore the relative degree of contempt telegraphed by different ethnic slurs.
Since it is not given here what the particular slur would be compared against for any “relative degree”, your comment clearly presents you as someone who
tends to not be very bright
, and the advice I won’t accept wasn’t answering my comment. I said that a continuation of an argument doesn’t say much about the beginning.
Wow.
I guess her defense was that he was acting like a little n-word. Then other racists were like nodding their head saying I support this.
From one of the top donors, just insane…
“The White race is under threat of impending extinction every day” Dafuq is this
They think “white genocide” is when a white person consensually has a child with a non white person. So they want to remove all non white people and create a white Ethnostate to “preserve the white race”.
Nazis. Just Nazis.
You know that inbreeding. It is under constant assault.
Racism, far right white ultra nationalists. Stupid fucking people
Indeed.
It’s funny how these things work, where I live nationalists are rather intelligent people, that kind is just thugs. And something about “white race” being said seriously I’ve only heard from people, eh, limited in their worldview and thinking it’s absolutely normal. Older teachers, for example. Or my idiot dad, but at the same time anything right-related in my interests he would perceive as signs of scary-scary fascism, I don’t think one can see that combination often.
I like how he signed it off with the [Fourteen Words] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words)
Not a white nationalist, but reading that makes me wish they were at risk of extinction as they cry about it.
the world will be better without racists.
Their idea of “white genocide” is white people consensually having children with non white people.
So, I’m doing my part for white genocide and proud of it.
Jesus fucking christ
I thought for sure “1022” was going to be some neo-nazi number. As far as I can tell, it’s not.
I noticed recently that new bigot accounts on reddit have been using 22 where 88 once stood.
That’s the result of them passing the hat around their local militia.
they were $466 short on their fundraising goal
Link to source?
A self-respecting person would return that money. But I doubt she is.
From the site:
I called the kid out for what he was.
She’s one of them.
Ah. OK, stopping defending her.
She’s one of them hence why she’s even on that site.
Unfortunately that site is also the one that held the biggest Mangione fundraiser. It doesn’t seem to moderate it’s fundraisers beyond the absolute legal minimum.
Mangione is a hero, this woman is not.
Absolutely, I didn’t mean otherwise. It’s just a comment that the site seems to accept uh - controversial fundraisers that others won’t.
I recognized it because I donated to that Mangione fundraiser.
He’s a hero because he’s innocent. As presumably are all those before conviction.
That moment when calling a child a racist slur in order to start a gofundme crosses your mind as a legitimate business tactic…
I have children that wouldn’t mind being called a slur for half that money. White children. Bet that could really raise some dough from the white nationalist lunatics.
We good to go?
Spearchucker!
“i got called a cracker by a weirdo woke dei whatever the word is, here’s my go fund me”
Please… call me Saltine-American.
Honky devils
I’m low on cash, can I call you a slur for my go fund me?
