Would cocksucker make the list? How about Cracker? White boy? Whitey? Faggot?
Are you suggesting the Leelanau County road commission member is anything other than a vile individual?
He could certainly be a vile individual, but if all the vile individuals are to be fired, there's going to one big ass unemployment line. And, who gets to define who is vile and who isn't?
The point I was trying to make in my "Old whiny conservative white guy way," is that it seems to me that the cancel culture mob applies different standards as to who and what is getting canceled and seems to make the rules up as we go along. They freaking "canceled" Don Cherry for saying "You people" for God's sake. Yet Joy Reid makes explicit homophobic posts and gets a prime time gig on MSNBC?
Another example, take TCU football coach Gary Patterson. He called out one of his freshman players for using the "N" word during team meetings. The player continued to do so and Patterson very forcibly told him "You will not use the word "Nig***" in team meetings" and called him a fucking brat. Patterson is in all sorts of hot water over this, when in fact he was trying to do the right thing and teach the youngster some manners.

At my company, use of any racist or sexual identity insult in the workplace will get you fired in a heartbeat. I think most people have enough common sense to figure out which terms not to use in a professional setting
I detest the Black Lives Matter movement. It was started based on a lie, rooted in racism and is directed by avowed Marxists. I wonder if I made my feelings known in water cooler conversation it would be grounds for termination at your company? Would wearing a BLM button to work be grounds for termination?
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
