    If I were a betting man, I would wager that Donald will drop the “N” word by the time the election is over.

      I don’t think so but I’d take a bet that he’ll drop racial slurs for mexicans

      i think he hates mexicans much more than black people, though he hates both, and the mexican slurs are easier to get away with politically

        I dunno. I don’t think any politician can come back from dropping an N-bomb (Trump excluded). I’d like to think the b-word would be treated just as harshly, but I guess white people haven’t been scolded enough over it yet.

          One time when I was in highschool, a student said, in front of the principal, that he hopes trump would build that “beaner wall”, one of the other students confronted him, saying it was racist, the principal (a trump supporter, obviously) said “what’s racist about that?”

          The fact that this interaction has ever occurred on this earth leaves me with no hope that it would be treated as harshly.

      He got to occupy the news space so yeah why not. He wants hitler generals and “loves” Kim jong un and putin so there’s no limit IMO.
