Where are you even getting the idea anyone wants to be able to say those words to each other? We’re just saying that you, as a non-black, can’t say the N word and if black *want* to use it amongst each other then that’s fine for them, you got no right to tell them otherwise. That’s their choice as a culture and they’ve got their own reasons for it that you can’t even possibly begin to understand. And yes, oppressing an entire people for the entirety of their existence is a big fucking difference from screwing around some representatives of a culture for a few years. White people don’t have anything to be proud of in that regard, but fact if the matter is it’s still happening today against blacks and natives. So yah it is more prevalent, relevant and serious. You’re very much confusing an identity with racist words. He N word became an identity to black People, the racist words you use for Japanese people were never indoctrinated by Japanese People as part of their identity so of course they never say it to each other. Why is this concept so hard for you? Your comparisons are ridiculous.
End of story, the other nonsense you’re spewing that no one even said, I’m questioning your sanity even reading what you said or where you even got that idea from lol.. it couldn’t possibly be a simpler idea to live by but you make it sound like it’s so complicated you can’t be asked to abide by it. I’m far from a SJW buddy, it’s just common sense and consideration toward others.
So go in your own direction then, please feel free to tell the next black persons you run into saying that word that they shouldn’t be allowed to say it because you aren’t and you’ve decided it’s a double standard. Post about what happens afterwards (if you still can) okay?
Yeah it's pretty silly. I'm just waiting for a Democrat to get back into the White House and see what it takes for Republicans to start complaining about anything lol. Everything any President after Trump does will seem so vanilla.
It's actually hilarious the lengths people will go to, to complain about Trump.
When this orange POS goes around disrespecting the beloved face of your country (ie. the Queen and the UK in this case) right in front of her face, would you expect anything different?

Personally I would be cheering him on. Fuck "royalty" and strict rules of how you need to act.
I'd feel the same way if it was in Japan, Sweden, anywhere... I don't like being told how to act. If you're not an ass, you're acting fine. He shook her hand, he didn't spit in her face.

Anyone would have expected a basic level of courtesy and manner in which the president carries himself. Trump is anything but that. He doesn't even have the decency that any average person should have had, and yet he is occupying the single most important and powerful position in the US.
People are essentially complaining about that. It'd be really surprising if people were not complaining about these things.

That's exactly my point. If people think Republicans wouldn't be up in arms if Obama acted the way Trump did they are delusional.

Obviously you do not share the same sentiments as a majority of the Britons. She is the single most beloved subject throughout the country. All you need to see is how her 90th birthday was celebrated across the UK to have an idea of her popularity among Britain.
Certainly there are those who doesn't care for the Queen, including some who continue to try and make a case to abolish the monarchy. But those are the few and far between.
So you don't like being told how to act. I'd encourage you to try doing that in the court. The results are quite "interesting".

Britons are only complaining about this because they have so much hatred inside them, just like you do. If he was anyone else who shook her hand instead of bowing, nobody would have ever noticed. I'm sure it's happened a million times already.
As for court, I have no problem with respecting authority, addressing people with authority properly, etc. Standing when a judge walks in is fine. Fuck bowing to monarchs though.

As the head of state, Trump should have been more aware of proper protocol and manners than anyone else. You can forgive a backwaters farmer in the countryside to not know how to properly address the Queen if she chooses to visit him. But for Trump to not have been briefed on what he should have done, and how he should have acted? Yeah right.
And just to add, I'm pretty certain it is a super rare incident for *anyone* to walk in front of the Queen in a formal setting where formal royal protocol is required. Contrary to your belief, it has NOT happened a million times.
This orange POS has no respect for anyone. And people such as yourself are cheering him on for being such a disrespectful dick. Little surprise to see why our world is turning into shxt and fxxkers like Logan Paul has such a large following.

And how is the Queen not authority in the UK? If you think otherwise, you'd do well to review the history books of how the Queen Mother (ie. the first Queen Elizabeth) boosted morale during WW2 by refusing to leave Buckingham Palace during the Blitz.
When in Rome, do as the Romans. You are their guests, at least have the courtesy and respect to follow their customs. This is common sense, basic courtesy ... doesn't matter if you're a commoner or the POTUS but especially if you're the President since you represent the country and presumably have some sort of cultural intelligence.

At least he showed up and didn't completely snub her. Unlike Prince Charles and Prince William, who both refused to meet Trump.
Do you also think that's disrespectful?

It actually said in the video posted that Barack and Michelle Obama greeted her with handshakes as well instead of the traditional bow and curtsy.
Don't remember hearing any republicans squawking about that.

Dayammmn ... people across the pond really hate the orange POTUS, more people at this protest in London than his inauguration !!
Why not though?
When you're an upper-middle classed overly privileged narcissist who wants your social media brownie points, you'll join the bandwagon of all these other social losers who's direction in life is solely based on the trajectory outlined by the propaganda machines. Like ants to an open pop can, these people will parade around and convince themselves they did good for the world because they will be positively reinforced through the same platforms that enslave the very freedom they think they don't have.

Trump:
Agreeing to show up, and then showed up late, and then completely ignoring the royal protocol.
Prince Charles / William:
Indicated in advanced that they will not show. Then they did not show up.
Gee... really makes me wonder who is more disrespectful here?

The (not) bowing / curtsy wasn't really the big deal. The really rude thing to do was to walk in front of the Queen when they were supposed to walk together to conduct the Royal Guard inspection / ceremony. Walking in front of the Queen during an official event? Seriously? When paying official visits to the Queen, the Prime Minister of the UK exits the room by walking backwards so as to not show his/her back to the Queen.

They showed up on time. 5 sharp.
Prince Charles and William didn't show because they refused to meet him. That's intentional.
What trump said Friday prior to meeting the queen:
Quote:
"I really look forward to meeting her. I think she represents her country so well," Trump said. “If you think of it, for so many years she has represented her country, she has really never made a mistake. You don’t see, like, anything embarrassing. She is just an incredible woman."
So do you think his "disrespect" was intentional?
Doesn't sound like it to me. Sounds (and looked) like he just made a mistake and/or didn't know protocol

Honestly, get the fxxk out of there, man. Trump has been in office for 1.5+ years now, and everyone knows how he operates. What he says / writes has no bearing because that can flip flop 180° in a matter of minutes. He only says / writes what is convenient to him at the moment. To see his true intentions, you can basically pretty much only look at what he does at the end of the day. And what he did was to show up late, and then broke royal protocol by walking in front of the Queen, and then ignoring her gestures to get back into protocol.
She was "waiting 12 minutes"
What time did they get there? What time was tea?
It's becoming so easy to pick out the manufacturing of rage by the media these days.
But i guess if you already hate the guy, you'll willfully consent.
Huh. Appears they were neither late, and according to this commentator, didn't even break protocol.

I don't even care whatsoever about the Queen visit, but I do love the delicious irony of welfare citing CNN as evidence the one time it supports his viewpoint when it's fake news every other time
