- lawnchair_larry 6y agoLook harder. I understand though, since there are so many of them. I was surprised myself. Here is an opinion piece from the extremely left Paul Krugman: > Well, the dog whistle days are over. Republicans are pretty much back to saying “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/15/opinion/trump-twitter-racist.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/15/opinion/trump-twitter-rac... For the ultimate in irony, it appears here, uncensored, in an article about a guy who got fired for not censoring his references to others using it. He asked a student to stop calling him it, and got fired for using the word. And NYT prints it (with the byline being a white guy). But if that wasn’t absurd enough, the guy who was fired for asking a student to stop calling him that was black. A black guy got fired because he asked a student to stop calling him nigger. This is how far we have come. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/us/wisconsin-security-guard-fired-n-word.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/us/wisconsin-security-gua...
