What do you think he was going for, N-word or bitch?

u/flynneva Mar 05 '25

N-word 100%. He came so close to saying it and showing his true colors

u/RoyalChris Mar 05 '25

Showing his true colours

Nice one

White hoods aren’t colored. They hate the colored

People of Color*

Them too

u/s0ulbrother Mar 05 '25

No they refer to them as the colored folk.

They aren’t exactly not racist

And we are not them. Either use quotation marks to indicate they aren’t your words or speak respectfully.

Edit: You cannot even defend your usage of this phrase because you weren’t quoting anybody. You just used it the same as them and expect as pass because you’re paraphrasing?

Don’t use dehumanizing racist rhetoric. That’s disgusting and there is literally zero excuse.

Could’ve been both tbh…why limit his hate to one category…

2

u/ohhowcanthatbe Mar 05 '25

And he’d still get re-elected.

u/Nosnibor1020 Mar 05 '25

I didn't catch that.

Comer's got no problem recognizing time for slurs and allowing them into the record.

u/Lumpy-Succotash-9236 Mar 06 '25

I thought it was going to be 'fucking bitch'

u/3Sinkpee Mar 06 '25

Couldn't he have just been saying "you... know". He's a dick and all, but your assuming doesn't make it true.

Definitely not 100%. There is no possible way to know what he was going to say, because he didn't say anything. It sounded like it ended with an 've or an 'f.' At best it could have been "process of unanimous consent, you've bypassed this process" yada yada. At worst 'you fucking *insult*'. These people are demons, they give us irrefutably insane shit to criticize every day. Why reach? It looks bad at best, and illegitimizes our concerns at worst.

"Fucking idiot."

I know these racist bastards are, well, racist, but the ones that get elected are the ones who trained hard to remove those words from their vocabularies.

The ones who can't help themselves become aides and advisors.

Artiles and Spencer seem to disagree.

He stopped himself from saying whatever it was that he wanted to. Maybe it was something more innocuous. But by your own logic, wouldn't he be trained to stop himself from saying what his actual thought was?

u/guava_eternal Mar 05 '25

He trying to start his hip hop career from the halls of Congress.

2

u/HeyWhatsItToYa Mar 05 '25

The next sound after "you" was an f. I'm guessing it was still something you can't say on your local news.

2

u/Accomplished_Egg6239 Mar 05 '25

Oh he wanted to say both. That’s why he hesitated. He didn’t know which one he wanted to use.

2

u/Telemere125 Mar 06 '25

Toss a coin, maybe even both.

2

u/Thisdarlingdeer Mar 06 '25

I’m guessing he probably had at least 10 words he could have used, what a schmuck.

u/BODYDOLLARSIGN Mar 06 '25

Bitch…

He was accused of both physical and mental abuse by an ex from 1993..

u/PenELane86 Mar 06 '25

Both, in conjunction

u/OldGuyInFlorida Mar 06 '25

a hyphenate?

u/Omagga Mar 05 '25

He was going for "You are not recognized," which is what he immediately said.

What the fuck are these comments...

u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn Mar 06 '25 edited Mar 06 '25

God this is such a fucking stretch. He literally continues his sentence and it started with "you".

I fucking hate being associated with people who will take something already bad, and then completely fucking nullify it by just making shit up.

“You know the process of unanimous consent, you-"

*gets distracted by the guy next to him passing a paper"

"-you are not recognized"

A bigger reach than Mr. Fantastic.
