Racists have no idea how ignorant they make themselves look.

You are correct. You have yet to see how your racism makes you look like a fool. The only thing you have wrong is that it's not ignorance on your part. It's stupidity.

I'm curious if Reed would acknowledge that her race and skin color had a lot to do with getting hired for that position?

It's what "she" does best, so lay off. lol

Of course if this had been a white anchorperson calling out a black viewer for calling her a "cracker," there would have been instant approval from Amazon's Second-Loudest Racist.

Its what he does best. It’s easy to be a racist when you can hide behind an anonymous avatar on an Internet message board.

South Park has the perfect response to these redneck trailer trash ignorance.

Derkadur!

Yeah, sure it is, you fucking moron. Reporting on social issues of the day is not professional?

That reporter was the epitome of professionalism.

Jerrod Carmichael has the right idea, using the N-word is just bloody childish and imbecilic. What is the point anyway, you lot have become so unhinged over race it's truly mind-boggling.

Jerrod Carmichael is taking his already edgy NBC comedy, The Carmichael Show, one step closer to the edge – in an upcoming episode, the word “nigger” will be used six times. Carmichael, the writer and star of the show, pushed back against the prevailing norm that the word be sidestepped by using it, explaining his approach by saying: “‘N-word’ is childish … Say it! We know what we’re talking about; we’re not speaking to children.”
Carmichael isn’t the only one who feels like audiences are grown enough for regular use of the word on TV. He’s joined on the small screen by other successful, young black creators who write and star in their own shows and liberally use the word throughout their series. Donald Glover, whose hit series Atlanta aired on FX this winter, and Issa Rae, who made her television debut on HBO with her show Insecure, use the word in a way that reflects how they and their friends interact with each other, their conversations peppered with the casual variation of the word.

Terrance Howard even fought for the use of the word on Fox’s Empire. He believes it would make the show feel more real, but the show’s co-creator, Danny Strong – who happens to be white – disagreed (Taraji P Henson, Howard’s co-star, was also against the use of the word) and apparently so did the network. It’d be an understatement to say there’s a lot of controversy around the word, and even who should be allowed to use it.

To explore this controversy, Cheo Hodari Coker, the executive producer and showrunner for Netflix’s Luke Cage, pressed Marvel for the freedom to use the N-word. In an interview with the Daily Beast, Coker said his approach to Luke Cage was to present a slice of black life in the US. “Everybody has a different opinion of [the N-word]. Older people tend to not like that word, because they know the history of it. It’s real for them,” he said.

“Younger people are gonna have different viewpoints because in some cases, having listened to hip-hop and everything else, the word has a different kind of meaning. It’s almost like this weirdly positive negative.”

I can't help wondering why the word nigger could be broadcast on prime time TV over 30 years ago, yet suddenly it is so heinous that you have to use a childish construction like N-word.

Do you have proof of your claim about what a white anchorperson WOULD have done? No, you don't.

As a white person, I don't give a shit if some "nigger" calls me a cracker.
