Alabama Council Member Tommy Bryant Utters Stunning Racist Slur In Meeting
“Do we have a house nigger in here? Do we? Do we? Will she please stand up?” Tommy Bryant said, according to the Daily Beast .
Bryant was apparently talking about Council Member Veronica Freeman, who is Black, the outlet noted.
Just before the outburst, a member of the public questioned Bryant about his wife using the slur on social media, according to Bama Politics .
“The video speaks for itself,” said Mayor Wayman Newton, who is Black, per the Daily Beast.
Bryant accused Newton of using the term previously to describe Freeman and said he repeated it to amplify the gravity of it, AL.com reported .
Tensions have simmered between Bryant and Newton, Bama Politics noted. The Daily Beast also reported a “power struggle” between Newton and the white ex-police chief, Dennis Reno.
The Alabama Democratic Party demanded that Bryant resign, per AL.com

Could be senility.
This douche canoe probably has been a racist all of his life so I doubt that senility is the cause.
The REST of the story......................
The rest of the story is right in the posted article. Now that this dumbass put his foot in his mouth he is claiming that Newton said the same, does he have proof, was it in a meeting that would have the minutes, or is he back peddling to cover his dumb ass?
How convenient.............
Us non-racist supporting people know it was wrong even if this "rest of the story" bullshit is true.
Agreed. Didn't say it was right. Nor is it right that anyone use that word no matter the circumstance. PERIOD.
And this..............
Doesn't indicate that you truly are open to the whole story.

I'm glad we can agree on something. Really! I'm glad that you and I can find common ground.
If it's true - it's true, but we only have this douchcanoe's word right now and as you have said it wasn't right so his explanation could still be considered BULLSHIT.
That's all you have? Thinly veiled personal attacks?
So... Testing the waters for a gubernatorial run?
Gawd let's hope not

It would be a term used by progressive Blacks to keep other Blacks in line.
I doub't a racist would add the word "House" to a racial slur. This is another case of common sense leading us to what happened here.
So it's OK if a black person utters the slur?
Not in my house it isn't.
Although I could not find the smoking gun, apparently Tommy Bryant's wife had previously used the n-word on Facebook in regards to something else.
At this council meeting someone in the audience yelled out a question about Bryant's wife's racism, and to deflect from that and cause a distraction, Bryant said what he did as a "quote" from the mayor.
They have more issues going on there than just this one sentence at the council meeting.
I’ve said this before and I’m sure it’s not a popular thing to say in progressive circles, but the outrage over the n word is a bit silly considering how frequently it gets used by black people. My wife and I made it a drinking game when we watch the Chi on Showime. I got pretty lit up last night over it - I think there were about 30 swigs. How is it not weird to be more offended as a white person when hearing that word in conversation than a black person?
most white guys look ridiculous when they use the word homie. Multiply that by about 20 for the n word.
White people should leave it alone no matter how many gangbangers use it.
I agree that white people shouldn’t use it, but I disagree that black people should be offended by the use of a word based solely on the color of who says it. How about everyone stop using a horrible racist slur? I’ve heard it said that the English language is the most complicated of all languages - imagine trying to explain that rule to a foreigner.
I’m curious if South African black people run around calling their black friends kaffir.
A US Army paratrooper uses the butt of his rifle to nudge along a man identified as C.E. Blake, who was hit in the head when he tried to take a weapon from a trooper near Central High School.
The trooper should have shoved that bayonet right up his racist ass.
what a dumbass!
Holy cow. I just watched the vid. He is a racist asshole plain and simple.
No way around that.
