Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz. referred to Black people as "colored people" Thursday in floor debate over his proposed amendment to an annual defense policy bill, prompting a stern rebuke from the former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Lawmakers were debating a series of GOP-backed amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act, which the House aims to pass by the end of the week.
Why are we no longer referring to people as “idiots” and “retards” and “cripples?”
Is that also just a distraction so that people can feel like they’re doing something? Are you, personally, just sticking with the old terminology?
I use whatever terminology is current, because, like I said, it basically makes no difference. Why upset people for no reason?
Pick a lane.
WHY INDEED, YOU MORON.
