“Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump,” the sign outside New Era Baptist Church reads, “you are an ignorant stupid negro.” The other side says, “Warning African Americans: A vote for Trump will put Blacks back to picking cotton.”

    Title feels like clickbait. Would be more convinced it was deliberate clickbait if the thumbnail didn’t directly show the sign saying “negro” and not the actual slur.

    But that just makes the choice of title more confusing.

      I mean, I sort of agree but it’s not like they could put “Negro” in the title and they did properly put the correct number of dashes for the missing letters.

        They could if they meant negro, which means black in Spanish, not n----, the archaic term for black people. See? Censored.

          Just for clarification, I fully agree with the censorship. I just agree that at first glance it looks like they used the OTHER N word, which is what the first was saying when he mentioned “clickbait”.
