it is crazy to me that someone would rationalize firing someone from a job for using a racist word 7 years ago when they apologized for it back when it originally happened, that is a crime that shows an equal amount of prejudice as using the word in the first place.

Probably cancel-culture hate. As it should be.

Also. But one use of it and you lose your career?? Idiocy.

By 2013 one should have known it was the consequence for using such language.

If black people want to use it, it’s not my place to say they can’t.

Whoever he sent it to held on to it and just used it against him. Proof again to be careful.
