Is Maceo Fletcher another pseudonym for Veritas, given his fondness for the term "house [the forbidden word] that apparently only liberals are allowed to repeat without losing their job or going to jail? But if it's a conservative African American politician it's not considered racist to criticize his views, intelligence, or apparently even utter the deadly forbidden word etc. that liberals are so scared of. I somehow doubt the forbidden word bothers Herschel Walker in the least. It's called mental strength from a divinely inspired self esteem. The weak minded should try it.

Left Wing Protesters Attack Herschel Walker at Event Calling Him ‘House N****r’
A left-wing protester allegedly attacked Herschel Walker at a campaign event by calling the Georgia Republican nominee for U.S. Senate a “house n****r, Fox News reported.

Walker faced the racial epithets at a campaign event held outside of Columbia Towers, an apartment building primarily owned by the church Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) leads.

Fox News reported that multiple witnesses at the event, including Walker campaign staffers and media members, heard the protesters shout the slur.

“This is all a stunt. He’s nothing but a house n****r,” the protester, who identified himself as Maceo Fletcher, allegedly shouted at Walker.

A Walker campaign staffer told Fox News he heard the protester say, “He’s a joke. He tap dances, and he’s a house n****r.”

The protester reportedly refused to answer questions when Walker staffers pressed him about the slur he shouted.

A Walker campaign spokesperson told Fox News the protester was actually a Warnock donor who goes by a name other than Maceo Fletcher. However, Fox News has not yet verified the Walker campaign’s claims.

Walker’s press conference outside Columbia Towers came one week after the Washington Free Beacon reported that Warnock’s church attempted to evict tenants for as little as $28.55 in past rent during the pandemic.

As Breitbart News detailed:

Columbia Tower at MLK Village in downtown Atlanta, a facility that caters to the “chronically homeless” and those with “mental disabilities,” has found itself sued a dozen times during the pandemic. One of the latest lawsuits shows a tenet was asked to vacate the apartment building for $4,900 due in back rent, a sum that is nearly half of Warnock’s pastoral monthly housing allowance.

While Warnock’s church tried to evict tenants, the senator earned a hefty $120,000 pastoral salary and an additional $7,417 monthly housing allowance from the church. All this came on top of his $174,000 congressional salary.

“Where in Matthew 25 does it say that you can evict people who are struggling?” Walker asked at the campaign event.

A poll released Tuesday found that Walker is tied with Sen. Warnock at 46 percent support with three weeks left until the midterm elections.

Somehow I doubt Senator Warnock's taxes went up even though he clearly makes more than $400k/year, which apparently still isn't enough to help those struggling to pay the rent. At least he has to pay the price of inflation like the rest of us. $120k/year with a $7k plus housing allowance is not bad compensation for preaching the gospel. I wonder how many socialist security disability checks it takes from his congregation to fund that.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Is it bad when a black man calls another black man the n-word? I’m not up to speed on the latest n-word rules.

I'm not sure if that's the same Maceo Fletcher (unless he's using a old picture of when he was young). Here's a vid (linked below) where a local station interviewed him (at least I'm guessing it's the same guy who Brietbart heard that Fox heard a staffer heard....).

Apparently he lives in a building next to the tower, and was heated that Walker had some "community" people that he had never seen in the community before, as props.

ETA: I just noticed the Ajax header, compared with what actually happened. Lol. I'm glad Walker was able to survive the attack of someone else overhearing something. My thoughts and prayers.

Nope. So long as racial insults are directed at conservative African American politicians or pundits that is perfectly socially acceptable in the mainstream American public square, i.e. Facebook, Twitter,CNN etc, even for white liberals as evidenced by Kevin Graham's use of the word I'm not even allowed to repeat when describing Allen West or other conservative African American conservative politicians.

Another way to think of it is to imagine if I were to start a thread titled, "Just how stupid is Jesses Jackson," and then wrote out the ubonix he speaks in. That's a slam dunk for racism in your mind, right? The only difference is which side of the aisle is being criticized. That's what this is all about, not race.

You’ve repeated it in the same way that others have.

You’re correct that context plays a role.

If Herschel was not a Republican candidate, I wonder what Ajax would have to say about him?

That's right. Let's continue to coddle the white supremacist and help him push his agenda by derailing threads without any pushback from the mods and let's help him hide his background as well. Meanwhile, he's free to lie about things I never said and positions I never held with zero pushback, and for me to speak the simple truth about his background and the positions he's made, well that is entirely forbidden.

Not coddling. There are some labels that carry very heavy and specific baggage, and therefore have limited or no use here. And I would do the same to a post that referred to you with the same label.

Unless you flash me a membership card.

The real problem is the derailment of a thread. This has been a tried and true tactic, not an organic flow, but a tactic he’s used for as long as I can remember. He pops in with a whatabout with regard to some other issue and then successfully has people chasing red herrings. And don’t act like that crap isn’t getting reported and ignored. Instead of splitting off his derails and holding him accountable to the thread’s topic the Mods just indulge him no matter how many times it’s pointed out. It’s such BS when a poster takes the time to answer one of his claims only to have it ignored and then instantly turns to another manufactured grievance he never intends to discuss.
