A Birmingham Baptist church is targeting Black voters with a sign calling those who plan to vote for Trump "ignorant stupid negroes."

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/14813146

“Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump,” the sign outside New Era Baptist Church reads, “you are an ignorant stupid negro.” The other side says, “Warning African Americans: A vote for Trump will put Blacks back to picking cotton.”

    Oh? You use that term all the time then? How often do you get punched in the mouth? Let’s go with daily average.

      Yes, that’s clearly what I said. You’re very smart.

          It’s not a word I use myself. I’ve just never considered it offensive, just dated. If someone told me it was offensive to them, I wouldn’t use it (but again, I don’t use it anyway so I don’t see how this wouldn’t come up) around them.

          But, honestly, I would have no problem saying “the United Negro College Fund” if I were talking about it, but if there were a similar entity that used the far more offensive n-word in it, I would not feel comfortable using it and wouldn’t say it at all.

          And I find this all kind of silly because they freely use it throughout the article, where i doubt the same could be said about the other n-word.
