According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word "substitute" is defined as "to take the place of".
To most of us, the word substitute is best associated with substitute teachers. My wife is a veteran teacher and regularly depends on substitute teachers (aka: subs) not only for times of temporary illness, convalescence, meetings or simply time for personal matters but also for when testing of students is required.
The purpose of this post is to bring to the reader's attention the regular substitution of one particularly heinous, verboten word with a handful of others deemed acceptable in our society but almost exclusively spoken, written, typed, etc. by one very powerful and influential group of people. This group, primarily existing in the United States, almost exclusively consists of those who do not vote for Republicans, especially not conservative Republicans and most certainly NOT for our president, Donald J. Trump.
Perhaps you are becoming more and more curious, now that I introduced a very pointed political message to this post, what this word is I am referencing. You may have figured it out by now because, if you think about it, what is the most verboten word in our English language? What one word, above all others, causes people to be fired or reprimanded for saying it, even when quoting the words of another individual, and even when providing a "trigger warning" to others the word is about to be said?
Not even the most famous, and naughty, four-letter word in the English language (f*ck) elicits nearly the same alarm and outrage from most Americans. In fact, "f*cking" is often used in conjunction with this forbidden word by those who wish to emphasize the usage of the following word when they seem to be extraordinarily angry or disgusted with the intended target of their ire.
Have you figured it out yet? OK.... six paragraphs in and I will finally mention the word, but even though I could have fully typed the "F" word in the last paragraph, I chose not to since who knows if the site which hosts my blog will take issue with that so better safe than sorry, right? That said, of course there is no way I dare fully type the English language's most offensive word so I will simply use it's much more common abbreviation: the "N" word, as in ni**er.
Think about when this word is, and has always been, nearly exclusively used and by whom in America since the 1830s: Democrats. Why was/is this word used if not to unequivocally express dominance of a black person either to ensure the black person stays oppressed (in chattel slavery, even) and under the complete control of Democrats or express disgust towards any black person who dared say, do or think differently than what the Democratic agenda expected them to, even to this day?
Since ni**er is no longer an acceptable term in polite society today yet the feelings of disgust by too many Democrats towards those black individuals who dare say, do or think differently than what the Democratic agenda expected them to, how can those feelings best be expressed otherwise without actually calling such blacks "ni**er"?
This word, ni**er, is all too regularly substituted today with various words or phrases, to include:
- Uncle Tom (most common example, by far)
- Oreo
- token
- minstrel
- race-traitor
To use any of the previous words today can ONLY be in substitute for ni**er, for they are intended to convey recognition of unacceptable deviation from the "approved" Democratic agenda by any black person.
Notable "Uncle Toms":
- Clarence Thomas
- Thomas Sowell
- Walter E. Williams
- Larry Elder
- Shelby Steele
- Dr. Ben Carson
- Sen. Tim Scott
- Hershel Walker
- Kimberly Klacik
- Brandon Tatum
- Candace Owens
- Rob Smith
- John James
- Mia Love
- Leo Terrell
You may have noticed not once have I stated this phenomenon with calling non-conforming blacks solely a white Democrat problem for black Democrats are just as guilty, obviously, if not more so, considering black support for Democrats often exceeds 90%. In fact, it took the Democratic primary to make its way to South Carolina (27% black population) this year for Joe Biden to finally win a Democratic primary as a presidential candidate (despite two previous attempts). Why they did not choose one of the contending black candidates instead of Joe Biden, or any of the other five white vote-leading candidates in that primary, says what about Democratic voters, especially with identity politics as the fundamental practice within the Democratic party?
