Give me the context. Any word is not “good” or “bad” by itself. And that’s a word I hear any time I ride public transit (said by people with black skin, and most of the time females with black skin). So I don’t really have a reaction to it any more, but give me the context and maybe it has meaning.

Still waiting to hear those abhorrent names. It wasn't "women" in general - it was to Rosie O'Donnell in particular. He called Mexicans illegals when they were in fact illegals. Journalists? Fake news purveyors? Spot on. Foreigners? Provide proof please. "His enemies" ... what abhorrent name has Trump called "his enemies"?

I think it’s kinda trashy. I was raised right, so I don’t usually say it.

But to have a stroke if a white person says it, when blacks say it all the time? Don’t care. Meaningless.

I don’t like the word and don’t use the word but when I was a kid growing up X number of years ago, round rocks found in the field were called n*****r heads...……..my Dad said it all of the time.

Why would I care if he said Nword? I have said it many times in my life. Nothing I am proud of, but it is a word, and I have used it. How many colored people have used the C word? Cracker? Honky? Chink? Wop? Hymie? Pollock? Beaner? People need to get over themselves, words cannot offend you, they really cannot. Actually, you have to choose to be offended, and I choose the freedom God gave us all. To be free from being offended, and the freedom to say plainly what I think.

I only blanked out the N word at the top because this is not my website.

Now would I fight someone if they called my wife or child a fat hog? Or butt ugly? You betcha, but that is just how things should be settled. Not with court cases, firings, and losing prestige. Let people fight it out if they are so inclined, and arrest the one who swings first if the cops are involved. You don’t arrest the person who said a word, just the one who assaulted or committed battery. THAT is how you enforce laws, on the person who first physically harms another.

...

The whole Southland is sanctified by the precious blood of the student Confederate soldier. Their sublime courage has thrown upon the sky of Dixie a picture so bright and beautiful that neither defeat, nor disaster, nor oppression, nor smoke, nor fire, nor devastation, nor desolation, dire and calamitous, and I might with truth add, the world, the flesh nor the Devil has been able to mar or blemish it. The tragedy of history fails to record anywhere upon its sublime pages anything comparable to it. All the time will be the millennium of their glory.

...

And how she lived for him, that patient widowed mother of the South; what a man she made of him;how she has kept true in his breast the best traditions of his race; how she has fed him, clothed him, brought him up through poverty to wealth, from weakness to strength, to the high honor of hard work, through the indomitable example that she set! She has made of the sturdy manhood of the South the highest product which a Christian race has yet attained.
God bless the noble women of my dear Southland, who are to-day as thoroughly convinced of the justice of that cause. They are the guardians of the sacred honor the the [sic] departed; they will protect the memory of the hero’s spirit no less than preserve from desecration from the sand [handwritten insertion of– sand] dust of his body.

...

And I dare to affirm this day, that if every State of the South had done what North Carolina did without a murmer [sic], always faithful to its duty whatever the groans of the victims, there never would have been an Appomatox[sic]; Grant would have followed Meade and Pope; Burnside, Hooker, McDowell and McClellan, and the political geography of America would have been re-written.

...

The duty due to our dear Southland, and the conspicuous service rendered, did not end at Appomatox[sic]. The four years immediately following the four years of bloody carnage, brought their responsibilities hardly of less consequence than those for which the South laid upon the altar of her country 74,524 of her brave and loyal sons dead from disease, a grand total of 133,821.
It is true that the snows of winter which never melt, crown our temples, and we realize that we are living in the twilight zone; that it requires no unusual strain to hear the sounds of the tides as they roll and break upon the other shore, “The watch-dog’s bark his deep bay mouth welcome as we draw near home”, breaks upon our ears—makes it doubly sweet to know that we have been remembered in the erection of this beautiful memorial. The present generation, I am persuaded, scarcely takes note of what the Confederate soldier meant to the welfare of the Anglo Saxon race during the four years immediately succeeding the war, when the facts are, that their courage and steadfastness saved the very life of the Anglo Saxon race in the South – When “the bottom rail was on top” all over the Southern states, and to-day, as a consequence the purest strain of the Anglo Saxon is to be found in the 13 Southern States – Praise God.

...

I trust I may be pardoned for one allusion, howbeit it is rather personal. One hundred yards from where we stand, less than ninety days perhaps after my return from Appomattox, I horse-whipped a negro wench until her skirts hung in shreds, because upon the streets of this quiet village she had publicly insulted and maligned a Southern lady, and then rushed for protection to these University buildings where was stationed a garrison of 100 Federal soldiers. I performed the pleasing duty in the immediate presence of the entire garrison, and for thirty nights afterwards slept with a double-barrel shot gun under my head.

...

In our forums, in our halls, in our universities and colleges and schools they tell us, through tradition, song and story of the wonderful deeds of the ancient Greeks and Romans, Thermopylae, Marathon, Platea, of Caesar and his 10th Legion, which carried the Roman Eagle to the confines of the known world, of the chivalric knights of the Middle Ages, of Saratoga and Yorktown, of Cowpens and King’s Mountain, of Lodi and Austerlitz, of Napoleon and the Old Guard, of Jefferson Davis and Buena Vista, and Monterey, but there is nothing recorded which surpasses the achievements of the Student Soldiers who wore the gray. For undaunted heroism, unyielding endurance, patient suffering, incessant fighting and deathless valor, he is without parallel. He was the ancient Greek of modern times, led by the Miltiades of the 19th Century, the world’s greatest hero, Robert E. Lee.

...

That for which they battled in memory of this monument is reared, as well as for the survivors of that bloody drama, was not achieved. But the cause for which they fought is not lost, never can be, never will be lost while it is enshrined in the hearts of the people of the South, especially the hearts of the dear, loyal, patriotic women, who, like so many Vestal Virgins (God’s name be praised), keep the fires lighted upon the Altars. Nay, as long as men anywhere pay tribute to the self-sacrificing spirit of a peoples’ ideals.

...

In the knowledge of subsequent developments, the progress, peace and prosperity of our united, common country, victor and vanquished now alike believe that in the Providence of God it was right and well that the issue was determined as it was. And the people of all sections of our great Republic, moved by the impulse of sincere and zealous loyalty, of fervent and exalted patriotism may say: “All is well that ends well.”

What Donald Trump did in his personal life before the presidency doesn’t matter to me, and it’s obvious as our 45th president he’s too drat busy saving the country to do anything else in the Oval Office.
