I don’t like him, will not vote for him but I bet he didn’t mean to say it. However it’s obviously a word he thinks on his head.

It’s not obvious at all, you just made that up without any evidence.

I don't think there's any chance he meant to say it, mostly because in context it doesn't make any sense and bugaboo does. It's weird (I've never even known a white racist who used that word), but I wasn't going to vote for him anyway.

Are you suggesting trone thinks he coined a new word?

I'll bet if you polled 100 random people, maybe 1 has ever heard of this racial slur.

I had never heard of it before today

I've never heard of this, and I bet this guy didn't mean to insult anyone.

Also, I find it exhausting how everyone has to police every single word they say and if you say ONE word out of line, you get thrown to the wolves. I vote left or centrist, but I do notice that it's the left that has the most hair-trigger response to any word out of place. If they want more people to vote for them, they should calm the heck down!

I am a Maryland native.

It is a common racist slur around here.

This life long Maryland resident and Democrat is not aware that some consider this word to be racist.
