This past weekend Ralph Nader announced the he will run (again) for President this year. I read quite a few posts about his return yesterday but I didn't see any about Mr. Nader's unfortunate use of the "N" word back in 2005.Here is what he said;
From Blogcritics.com - Speaking Wednesday night at a Washington fund-raiser to retire the debt from his 2004 presidential campaign, Nader complained that Democratic Party powerbrokers had kept him off the ballot in such Southern states as Georgia and Virginia - which reminded him of the oppressive Jim Crow laws that denied African-Americans equal rights.
"I felt like a [n-word]," said Nader. (paragraph attribution: Blogcritics/ June 17, 2005)
How is it that a so-called politician, Nader, can use the "N" word and then think he can run for President? I have no interest in anything Ralph Nader has to say and I find it offensive that he has the audacity to run for President after his "N" word incident.
Does it bother you that Ralph Nader used the "N" word?
Are you willing to take him seriously knowing of his past use of the "N" word?
