My thoughts: this was not an accident. This was testing the waters.

I wonder what the person who absolutely insisted to me yesterday that this wasn’t about black people in general would have to say about this…

    Gonna invoke the hivemind rage and say that, upon listening w headphones, it does kinda sound like he’s saying “migr -” with a short “i” sound.

    Now queue the downvotes, calling me racist, dumb, etc.

        I think you’re hearing what you want to hear and getting a hit of the righteous outrage. Misspeaking is a thing, dude. You say “plausible” sarcastically, as if it weren’t actually 100% plausible lol

          Sounds like everyone here is “hearing what they want to hear” except you. What does that suggest to you?

              You can also claim anything you want if you simply dismiss everything you don’t agree with as biased and worthless, which you appear to be doing here.

      Yeah, I’m not 100% convinced either. It doesn’t sound like he used the n-word, nor that he caught himself halfway through saying it. People screw up speaking all the time, and on rare occasions it can sound like something offensive.

      No. I assumed it was actually something like thag. Then listened to it a bunch of times. I don’t find that plausible at all.
