@simba9 So what do you personally call someone who uses racist language? I haven’t seen anyone equate these men with someone like David Duke. You can be racist and work with people whom you hold prejudicial beliefs about. Heck, you can hold racists views against your own children.
We are becoming more aware how speech, whether purposefully or in jest, has the power to pass down, over and over, practices that have historically and presently kept down minorities in real ways. Thoughts, views, and laws have been changing at a more rapid pace. It is time for others to catch up to the real and present dangers words and actions have.
