In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I cannot link to the articles because they are obscene and vulgar. But emails from Hunter show him using the n_word a number of times and speaking of his male appendage in conversations with his attorney. The emails are genuine and are not disputed

Thoughts?

Great.

An unknown source for unverified emails with alleged comments in an unknown context. Thank goodness they are "genuine and not disputed".

(Is speaking of one's male appendage now considered racist??) :)

Why does it matter. How is it news? Joe Biden's not responsible for the actions of his adult son.
It matters because if he did say the N Word there needs to be consequences. Racism cannot be tolerated and Joe Biden's son shouldn't be exempted from doing a public apology and perhaps losing whatever job he has.

I think that’s why they’re called ‘private’ messages. They weren’t intended for anyone other than the recipient and if that person doesn’t have a problem with it why should anyone else? If he had tweeted it or said it in a public statement it might be different but what goes on in a private conversation is no one else’s concern.

Why does it being private excuse Hunter of racism? Don't you know how hurtful the N word is to people of colour and the power dynamics at play? Hunter perhaps made his attourney feel very uncomfortable and given Hunter's White privledge he should have been more sensitive to the concerns of the man he was texting too.

Racism knows no privacy.

Doesn't matter if he did say the N word. The left would still cover for him.
What do you think should happen to him. Let’s also keep in mind how much the right wing has been going on and on about defending the First Amendment lately.

I think he needs to get on his knees and apologize to the black community. He's the one he hurt with his racist comments, not the bigoted right.

Of course the word is hurtful when it’s intended to be. I didn’t get that from the context of the message. It seemed like he was joking around with a friend. Have you seen the messages? It didn’t seem to bother his attorney too much. I’m sure he knows his client better than we do.

Are you saying that it's acceptable for White people to use the N word? A word which has historically been used by white oppressors to degrade and put blacks in a position lower than them?

If a person frequently uses a pejorative racial epithet in private conversation don't you think that pretty much identifies them as racist?

Okay, what? Okay you want to leave Hunter alone and see him face no consequences? Or bring about some pressure to get the President's son to admit his white privledge and how in using the N word he hurt the black community?

Depends on the context. If you’re joking with a friend in a private message you don’t expect to ever get out to the public, who’s to say you can’t?

What matters is that it is out in public and Hunter by his callous disregard of the use of this racist word needs to face consequences. It is not acceptable, regardless of context, for a white person to say the N word. Your freedom is not unlimited. Racism knows no privacy.
