Again, I do not think she is particularly bright, but there is no need for racist comments.

I'm not sure if you are understanding the word "racist" racist is a person who shows prejudice against a race. Fredo is a character in the movies The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, the character was weak and not so bright and in Part II started yelling "I'm Smart, I'm Smart" Calling whats her face Fredo in the context that she is also not so bright has nothing to do with any kind of racial prejudices.

Now if she was Italian and he called her a goomba or paisan or Wop or something along those lines than yes you would be right that he was racist.

This is how I would handle my post.

"You might not know that Italian considered that a racial slur"

no insults, no putdown, purely informative. and discuss how that is so.

But not you,

I guess he didn't make that connection to Alfredo's "I am smart" speech to Greene "I am smart''

ahem, Let me put my nerd glasses on for a moment, point of order, The speech was to Michael in Part II when Michael confronts Fredo about his betrayl and Fredo goes on the long speech about how he wasn't happy with Vito passing him over and making Michael the head of the family.

Do you, as a Black person from Chicago, not understand racism? Using slurs is not appropriate in any way, shape or form. Calling Marjorie Taylor Greene out for being less than stellar in intellect is a statement of fact. Calling her a racial slur is not.

You just have no idea what a racial slur is.

I made the connection. It is still inappropriate to use a racial slur to describe someone.
Please stop being a hypocrite.

So Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, and Donald John Trump are racist? They called Chris Cuomo Fredo on multiple occasions on national television.

Nate, the fact that you say this tells me more about your character, or lack thereof. I did not need more evidence that you are a hypocrite than I already had, but your confirmation is good for the rest of the board.
You are nothing more than a troll.
Edit:
If I were to call someone "Sambo", even you might get the racist connotation.

Cool rant.

But comparing someone to a character is not a racial slur.

Stop being a brainless DICK. And no you didn't make the connection otherwise you would have thought twice choosing this hill.

OK troll whatever you say.
You don't understand what true racism is. If I were to call someone "Sambo" perhaps even someone as dense as you are might be able to catch the connotation.

Would you like it if I called you a "Sambo"? I don't think so. Stop using racist slurs.

What if I were to call them a Polyanna? You're aware that that's a common phrase, yes?
