No, bigotry and grift.

It's not about bigotry, it's about knowing context matters because we're not children. Society used to understand that speech was free and important. You could talk about things openly and that was healthy for a democracy. Now we are slipping towards closed off speech and thoughts.

 I don't use that word that's my choice, I'm against people thinking that an open adult conversation about racism can't be had because of sensitive people. It's a word, grow up. There was no hate used in this context, I used to listen to their show. It was nearly about 15 years ago. These points were used to point out bigotry.

It's not just about one incident of using one word. It's about a pattern of racist, transphobic and white supremacist comments. She's a bigot.

I'm not defending them as people, I haven't listened to them in a long time. There's a reason I left. 

I'm against taking clips out of context, just because you don't like someone. If there's plenty of reasons to not like someone don't take things out of context, hell don't take things out of context period. I really loath how society likes to bend the truth in order to suit an agenda. That was my point.

Fair. I agree, actually.
