Also in the context of a conference call, how hard would it have been to just refer to the word, like "the N word" rather than saying the actual fucking word

I don't know if he's a racist or not (most indications point to him being one, or at least being intolerant), but he is a true moron.
If you look back, I never actually gave an opinion on this.
You just assumed mine. Like many here.

My opinion is yes, it was a stupid thing to say. Especially during a conference call discussing racism.
Do I think he's racist? I have no idea.

The thing that bothers me is most of the media covering this aren't being honest and showing that he did not actually call any black people the n word himself. They intentionally leave that out and just say "he used the n word", without explaining any context. And naturally, the sheeple (sorry, I hate that word too) just assume he used it directly.

They're supposed to be reporting stories with as much detail and impartiality as possible. Not manufacturing consent.
