    Seriously, who gets offended over being called a honky? Isn't it pretty much an angry nerd? Trying to say it's equivalent to the n word is just silly.

    I don't know I'm sure people do. Personally I don't even find any of those offensive and being Italian and hearing wop also isn't offensive to me. Whoever made those slurs need to find better ones, give me some funny shit at least. Crackers are delicious and honky sounds like a last second made up insult. Redneck is interesting but I mean yeah I'm white and of course when I get sunburnt my neck gets red what the fuck?! But then again like everything else they are just words and based on context and how much power people give these words determine how offended others get or if they ave an affect at all

    Don't give two shits if the homeless mental case says he was a Trump supporter. It wasn't a terrorist attack in any way shape or form so it doesn't even matter if he had a tattoo of Hillary on his face.

    My "all over the terrorist attack in London" consisted of two words, "damn Trump"

    I must have been furious.

    Logic does not dictate that the party I agree with more often is considered by me to be closest to the center because I agree with them "more often"

    Bernie Sanders was farther from center than any of the dipshit Jeb Bush types the Republicans tried to pass off as acceptable.

    The reason we don't get offended by honky or cracker is because we usually hear it during road rage or a fistfight.

    The Nword is used often when some white guy says to another white guy "this Nword came in for an interview and thought he'd get this job with his pants hanging off his ass"

    We don't hear "Sorry cracka, you don't qualify for a mortgage"

    That part is in no way equal but the word is the literal equivalent of the other.

    Next time a crazy homeless person bites someone you can call it a dog attack if it makes you happy. It will only be slightly dumber than this.

    So all you do is post everybody else's super bias opinions instead of yours? Also, why is everybody pointing the finger at trump as opposed to the extremists who kill innocent people? Like really, it's mental

    Because Trump is the leader of our nation and head of the free world. What he does matters, it sets the agenda, it sets the path, it sets the general tone for how important issues are perceived.

    I think Trump is repugnant, but that does not mean that he is irrelevant. Not just his tweets, but how he acts, how he communicates and what he focuses on are all of great importance.

    The President was a reality tv star. One of the attackers was too. I think we'll have to put reality tv dudes on a watch list.

    The Apprentice or The Jihadist Next Door. Both terrible

    Here is what the mayor of London said:

    “My message to Londoners and visitors to our great city is to be calm and vigilant today. You will see an increased police presence today, including armed officers and uniformed officers.

    There is no reason to be alarmed by this. We are the safest global city in the world. You saw last night as a consequence of our planning, our preparation, the rehearsals that take place, the swift response from the emergency services tackling the terrorists and also helping the injured.”
    Here is what Trump tweeted in reply to that statement:

    Regardless of what he was previously, he is POTUS now. I believe he lies more than any president in history and acts more of an asshat than any president in history . And the more people accept those lies and his backhandedness the more they are defacto accepting that as the new norm for for now and future presidents of any party.
