Conservative talk-radio host Dennis Prager, 71, bemoans the loss of racial slurs in society

Conservative talk-radio host Dennis Prager, 71, bemoans the loss of racial slurs in society to describe black people
Dennis Prager from right-wing Salem Radio Network went on air to complain how society no longer uses offensive slurs coined during the era of slavery
Prager, 71, went on to list various words that are no longer being used
Twitter users were quick to roast Prager's preaching
Earlier this month he called the coronavirus lockdowns the 'greatest mistake in the history of humanity'


'How many names have Blacks gone through in my lifetime?...What was wrong with Negro? What was wrong with colored? African American? Black? Four different titles for the same human being. There's no problem with any of them,' Prager said in a clip from his radio show posted to Twitter.

He is a right wing, bible thumping, creationist believing, evolution denying asshole who, along with Pat Roberson, can not die soon enough for my liking.

Fuck Dennis Prager sideways with his microphone while it is wet and hooked to a power source.

Mr "moral compass" has no moral compass... just a slavish devotion to RW nonsense and corruption.

If he didn't luck into public life, he would be struggling to keep a gig as a janitor of a strip club bathroom.

Whatever happened to "white trash" or "honky"? I mean, you just run into problems when you call someone a racist bigoted, pin-dicked bug fucker anymore. It's a dirty low down shame, you fucking klansman.

"White Trash" is definitively a word that White people invented to put down other poor White people. Honky has different suggested origins but most suggest that it was also other White people denigrating a certain type of White person.


The problem that People of Color tend to have with the words that Pager is lamenting on is that they are words that White people used to label, differentiate, and denigrate Black people.
