Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants

My thoughts: this was not an accident. This was testing the waters.

I wonder what the person who absolutely insisted to me yesterday that this wasn't about black people in general would have to say about this...

I think it was an accident. And this fuck uses the word too much.

Well it's some very interesting timing for such an accident.

I changed my mind after putting in earphones and listening to it more clearly

The video also looks like he's making an M sound (closed lips) than an N sound (open lips). Grammatically, I also don't think including "Haitian" makes sense if the next word is a slur.

I'm all for calling out the actual content on the conversation as the absolute nonsense that it is, but this specific headline seems like a bit of a reach.

u/flyingsquid won't look at this because of the dopamine hit he's getting from manufactured outrage
