Just saw a clip of Benjamin Shapiro saying the R slur.

This is their new thing. Under trump you don't get house or money or food but your neighbor gets deported and you can say the r word again.

Like this is 100% gonna backfire, nobody was asking for this. It makes them look like 14 year old boys.

Espically Ben Shapiro saying it 3 times all smug, he looks like a 14 year old boy whose mom isn't around and he's saying naughty words!

They're losers people hate them and this is loser behavior.

Back in the 00s or earlier, a lot of people said the r-slur basically as a way of saying "dumb" with emphasis. There wasn't always the connotation of an edge to it, or a direct understanding that you were demeaning people with intellectual disabilities.

Do you remember the original version of Black Eyed Peas "Let's get it started"? That was something
