Mine for example.

And don't forget what Lee Atwater, the founding father of modern republican politics, said while working for the Reagan administration:

You start out in 1954 by saying, 'Nigger, nigger, nigger.' By 1968 you can't say 'nigger' - that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff.

The only reason republicans don't say "nigger, nigger, nigger" anymore is that they know it will backfire.
