Michelle uses racial slur

[Bush92]

She could of said "cracker assed whitey" and liberals would defend her. Thats how liberals operate.

 

[Sallow]

Can't stand the Roma.

No sir.

Not one bit.

That Gypsy Magic will kill you.

Or turn you into a wolf during the full moon.

 

[bendog]

Wasn't she a stripper?

 

[Moonglow]

Gypsy Rose Lee...

 

[Luddly Neddite]

This is a word I haven't been comfortable about using for many years.
Hard to believe someone like the First Lady would be using it in 2014.

 

[Moonglow]

gypsum board or sheet rock....although it breaks easier than a rock, well not a sedimentary rock....

 

[bendog]

gypsy cab drivers. Make me angry. (-:

 

[Luddly Neddite]

puleeze....

nice faux raging thread.

Really.

If some Repub/tee potty had said it, the RWs would be saying it meant nothing.

 

[bodecea]

Tsk tsk.

I wonder if Romney got the gypsy vote ?

Michelle Obama Accused Of Using Racial Slur At White House Summit

Michelle Obama is being accused by some commentators of using a racial slur at the White House Summit on Working Families on Monday, and getting away with it!


But it’s one of those comments which could be taken either way.

It’s certainly not overtly racist and probably wouldn’t even be seen as offensive by most people. Then again, public figures, especially those like the First Lady, need to be extremely careful with their exact choice of words.

Michelle Obama told*ABC‘s Robin Roberts*at the White House Summit:

“The first thing I tried to do, which was a mistake, was that I tried the part-time thing… I realized I was getting gypped on that front. What happened was I got a part-time salary but worked full time.”

Did you even spot the offensive, apparently racist slur? Of course, it’s the term “gypped” which is a derogatory term derived from the word “Gypsy” which is considered offensive to the Roma people.

Whereas, perhaps Michelle Obama should have used the milder, more accepted terms “slighted” or “cut short” to express the fact that she was defrauded or*taken advantage of by her employers, she didn’t.

But in terms of inference, the subtle nuance in the word “gypped” is stronger than being “slighted” or “cut short,” and the First Lady probably didn’t intend to offend anyone.

Other offensive terms that spring to mind in this context would be “Jewed down” or referring to someone as an “Indian Giver,” but those two, as examples, are way stronger and more offensive than the casual use of “gypped,” at least linguistically speaking.

But, of course, it is not fitting for the*First Lady, Michelle Obama, to use such callous terms which are indeed offensive to some.

Anyway, she can blame her husband, Barack Obama, because in 2009, at a town hall meeting in Allentown, Penn., he used the very same word when talking about the need to regulate health inspection companies.

But that doesn’t make it alright for Michelle Obama to use such a term, off-the-cuff, in the way she did, without getting at least some flak from the ever-eager media for a story of this type. The writer of this article says “no comment” on this one; always better that way.

Michelle Obama Accused Of Using Racial Slur At White House Summit

Since when was "gypped" a racial slur? This is the first I've heard that.

 

[bendog]

A MOTH. They named a moth for a racial slur. Those rotten bustards. There's a reason we hate science!

 

[koshergrl]

I still use "gypped" hahaha.

I also use "Gerry-rigged". Which I think is "German-rigged" and refers to something being held together with baling twine and spit.....

I also use the term "chop chop" when I want someone to hurry.

And "capice" when I lay down the law.

She could of said "cracker assed whitey" and liberals would defend her. Thats how liberals operate.

She did not say that....so, how would you know?

 

[BlindBoo]

I just called My buddies down in Roma, they said they don't care.

A lot of phrases that were acceptable in the past are not acceptable today. But by the way the reverse is true as well.

If my mother or grandmother ever heard young men referring to each other as "niggas" or to their women as "bitches" or a "ho" they'd be running for a bar of soap.

They came from a generation where a hoe was a gardening instrument.

Ditto my Dad or his dad being told that someone wanted them to refer to them as black, I think they'd faint. They wouldn't know what to do.The proper and respectful term at the time was negro.

I think we need to give a lot more "benefit" of the doubt to people who use a word that is familiar to them as slang but not meant in a hateful or hurtful manner.

Had a friend from Britain who not knowing our terminology said to a very stunned group of people we were partying with that he desperately needed to go out and suck on a fag.



I had to take him aside. He paled right quick. Never used that term again.

 

[koshergrl]

Bode doesn't understand why anybody would be embarassed....

 

[bendog]

Maybe she should have used "ripped off."

I'm far from outraged about it, but I do think it's interesting that the msm ignores it. You have to dig to find anything about it.

 

[bendog]

you find it interesting the msm media ignores something meaningless? I mean I have issues with the msm, but that isnt' one of them. rolflmao.

 

[Defiant1]

I'm the first person to knock the Obama's.

I can't knock Michelle on this one just because she takes a niggardly approach to her vocabulary.
