Oh good old logicThat's the problem. This word has no history of being used as a racist term(other than one guy claiming it on tv). Somehow, this is the only racist term that cacs didn't take on the road with them. Every other term we know of, traveled with these racists but this one. So since it has no history, folks are left with the context argument.
Imagine other scenarios. So if she were a white woman and disrespected in such a manner, she could have said it was a misogynist term? If it were a gay man, he could have said it was a homophobic term? IMHO, it's just stupid to go down this path and accomplishes nothing but people making up shit as they go along and screaming context.
Let's face it. Some of the folks saying it was racist term because of context wouldn't have been cool with another group using the same argument. Best believe if a gay man accused a black man of using a made-up homophobic term because of context people would be screaming a different tune. People never think about when they can be on the other end of this dumb shit.
Just say it was disrespectful and he lied about the speech and keep it moving. Now even people on the left are like"fuck is she talking about?"
Empty barrel is a racist term ?

She how quickly she dropped the 'it was a racist term' thing? Someone advisors pulled her to the side and were like
"seriously? WTF?" She asked for an apology Sunday without calling it racist even though she referenced the empty barrel insult. Wonder why that is? 
And I do support her, but when someone does some bullshit, I'm going to call them on it. It was just a stupid thing to say and they've undone it.
nah dude your head is all still in the sand on this...She how quickly she dropped the 'it was a racist term' thing? Someone advisors pulled her to the side and were like

the shit was racist -
but politicians deal in optics - soundbites and the superficial... no depth no nuance - so thats the roe of their messaging
because majority of the US populace lack perception or depth on most things beyond sound bites and 140 characters
and It would alienate too many white liberals - thats why.
You have already eloquently argued your POV and by asking this last question you demonstrate a superficial understanding of American politics.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

It's over man. She won't say that shit no more. The congressional black caucus hasn't backed her on the racist term thing even though demanding an apology, but you still like.
The main argument was if 'empty barrel' was a racist term. It's not. Period. One guy on tv said it and there's no documentation for it anywhere on the planet -- and best believe folks been digging to save face.
The context argument belongs in the college classroom of some extremist feminist professor or some wannabe hotep. She had a perfect opportunity to not fall for this clown's shit, but she did.
Now Trump will keep with the 'wacky' shit and she backed off that racist term shit which is basically a win for him. Man you're stupid

obviously you don't read too well...
This reminds me of when Clint Eastwood brought out an empty chair for Obama during the Repub convention. Same concept.

I get what your saying with that anti-Semitic angle. Many of us on the board have called bullshit on what some Jews do with that and how it is definitely and abused term.
To be real, this whole ordeal was fucked up from the beginning.
Trump might do himself some good with just meeting with the family face to face. Take all the political shit out in these cases.

Trump is not meeting with poor people, face to face.
You gotta have a net worth above $100M for that.
That's Hilary's hustle.
Imma drop this right here...
