Given the old Michael Richards treatment. The N-word is an awful word and no one should ever used it, I wish as a society we could agree on that. Madonna, Wahlberg and Biden all get a pass for racial slurs, heck even Obama admitted to using homophobic language and was still elected president. The ends will always justify the means with democrats and your political party affiliation and the way you vote is the most important aspect of your identify in their eyes.
In this article Bob Lamey & Derek Daly are guilty until proven innocent. One employee steps forward and says Lamey used a racial slur while telling a story and Lamey was saying he quoted someone and then they are both canceled. Joe Biden used the N-Word several times in congress and it was broadcasted live on c-span.

Not long after longtime Colts radio announcer Bob Lamey abruptly retired on Sunday, news emerged that he had recently upset a black radio station employee by using the n-word while relaying a story he’d heard many years previously from another man at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
On Thursday, Daly denied being the source for Lamey’s usage of the racial slur — but also admitted to having used the word many years ago in a similar setting, in what he claimed was a misunderstanding attributable to his upbringing in Ireland. “I want everyone to know I deeply regret and sincerely apologize for what I said more than three decades ago,” Daly said in a statement.
The employee clarified that, in Lamey’s telling of the story, he didn’t say “blank” but rather the n-word. “He was like, ‘Oh I’m so so sorry. I’m so sorry if you’re offended by this. I didn’t mean to offend anyone,’ and I was like, ‘I’m black and I wouldn’t ever say that word,’ and sort of just told him how it hurt me and how I don’t think he should say it ever, even if he’s telling a story,” the employee said.
The Star published comments in support of Daly from Willy T. Ribbs, who was the first African American to compete in the Indy 500 and who previously had raced in a Formula series in England. Ribbs said that while overseas, Daly “was the first driver to befriend me in a[n] environment I knew little about,” and he described the Irishman, who now lives in Indiana, as “one of my closest friends in a sport that has been very hostile to me.”
