It was your argument. Not mine

Now you're saying it wasn't you, who said that it was OK to use hate speech as long as you are poking fun at yourself. You didn't say that, to defend Obama's making fun of Special Olympians?

"it was a self-deprecating comment "

"As you were told, it was a self deprecating comment - meaning he was attempting to make a joke at his own expense"

Those are your posts, not mine. So using your argument, is it acceptable for me to use the n-word as part of a self-deprecating argument?

You backed yourself into a corner from which there is no escape.
I didn't back myself into any corner bc most people don't view talking about special Olympics and bowling and using the N word and dancing as the same. Next time you are out to eat say you bowl like a special olympian and then say you dance like a N. Do you think you will get the same reaction?
