Just saw a clip of Benjamin Shapiro saying the R slur.

This is their new thing. Under trump you don't get house or money or food but your neighbor gets deported and you can say the r word again.

Like this is 100% gonna backfire, nobody was asking for this. It makes them look like 14 year old boys.

Espically Ben Shapiro saying it 3 times all smug, he looks like a 14 year old boy whose mom isn't around and he's saying naughty words!

They're losers people hate them and this is loser behavior.

Back in the 00s or earlier, a lot of people said the r-slur basically as a way of saying "dumb" with emphasis. There wasn't always the connotation of an edge to it, or a direct understanding that you were demeaning people with intellectual disabilities.

Do you remember the original version of Black Eyed Peas "Let's get it started"? That was something

Fergie even spells it out just in case you didn’t catch it.
