Give it a year at max. I have a feeling that by the end of this year, a lot of GOP members will publicly call black people "N****rs" while shaming those who don't, and a PragerU video titled "You're just a N****r, deal with it" featuring Matt Walsh will drop onto YouTube. Any backlash will be deboosted by most social media, which also stop moderating the word all across the globe.

It's already here. I know someone who drank the Flavor-Aid and within the past year he's starting using the T-slur and blamed Somalis when I offhandedly asked why traffic was so bad in a certain part of town (while there is a high Somali population here, the traffic problem is 100% poor city planning).

So fucking weird hearing that come out of the mouth of the Commie artist I used to go to punk shows with.
