Michigan county official Tom Eckerle is defending his use of the N-word — by repeatedly using the slur, and insisting that it does not imply he's racist.
A county official in Michigan is defending his use of the N-word — by repeatedly saying the slur, and insisting that it does not imply he is a racist.
Eckerle made the comments in the commission's meeting room Tuesday, just before a public meeting was to begin. Discussing the incident later in a phone interview with"No, I don't regret calling it an n*****," Eckerle told IPR."A n***** is a n***** is a n*****. That's not a person whatsoever." "Governor Whitmer believes that Road Commissioner Tom Eckerle must resign immediately," said Tiffany Brown, the governor's press secretary."His comments are atrocious. The Governor has been very clear – there's no place for hate and racism in Michigan."
