From [HERE] and [HERE] The white Buena Vista Township, Michigan clerk is in hot water after calling the Black township supervisor, a nigger. Now, Gloria Platko is apologizing and defending herself. Buena Vista Township residents are calling for her resignation. The clerk says she's sorry for offending residents but she has no plans to step down. She is apologizing for what she calls, "a slip of the tongue."

"I'm sorry to my five other board members and I'm entirely sorry to this entire community," says Platko.

Platko was recorded calling township supervisor Dwayne Parker "a nigger." Platko says that doesn't make her racist. "I've eaten Thanksgiving dinner with black friends at their house. So I'm far from prejudiced. You need to go interview some of the black people who have supported me for the last four or five years," says Platko.

[Interim Township Manager Dexter] Mitchell said he recorded the call in January without Platko’s knowledge because he didn’t want her to twist his words. About six minutes into the recording, Mitchell asks, “Would you be willing to sit down with (Parker)?” Platko told Mitchell that Parker is “just rubbing me the wrong way.

“He is just doing whatever he can. You know what I think of Mr. Parker right now, and I know you’re not even going to like this,” Platko said in the recording. “But he’s just an arrogant Nigger. And I’m sorry to say it that way, but that’s the way I feel.”

As stated by Wonkette, "Gloria Platko just doesn’t give a fuck if you like it. When she wants to call someone an arrogant nigger, she’s going to call that person an arrogant nigger. Like you could do before basic human decency ruined what used to be a free country."

Platko said she was taught at a young age that there was nothing wrong with the use of the N-word and she believes people are taking her use of it the wrong way. “Every race of people have (N-words), every culture has (N-words),” 69-year-old Platko said. “Look up the definition. I learned that way back in grade school. I learned that at St. Joe’s and Holy Rosary.

"In the absence of white supremacy, niggers would not exist." According to the Code Word Guide, a Nigger is any non-white person, who is directly or indirectly subject to the System of White Supremacy (Racism) in any area of activity, including Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, law, Politics, Religion, Sex and/or War. According to Dr. Blynd, a nigger is a species of caterpillar-known also as a 'black jack.' [MORE]

The Definition Of "Nigger" In A White Supremacy System:

1. "Nigger" is NOT a racial identity.

2. ALL non-white people are niggers  -  by default - in a system of white supremacy.

3."Nigger" is NOT a personality defect.

4."Nigger" is a political term that defines a social, economic, and political REALITY.

5. A nigger cannot decide who is a nigger and who is not.

6. All black people are niggers but all niggers are not black people.

7. All non-white people are niggers (in a system of white supremacy). 

8. There is no place on earth called "Nigger Land," therefore niggers are NOT born (niggers), they are CREATED.

9. White people cannot be niggers in a system of white supremacy.

10. There is NO racial slur for whites that is the social, economic, or political equivalent of "nigger" in a white supremacist system.

11. There is no such thing as "acting like a nigger."

12. Being a nigger has nothing to do with being ignorant, backward, country, poor, or uneducated. Those qualities are found in every ethnic group.

13. No amount of education, professional achievements, or fancy table manners will transform a nigger into a white person in a system of white supremacy.

14. Nigger is not a lifestyle or behavior, it's a condition. Accusing someone of acting like a "nigger" is like saying, "Stop acting poor!" If you're poor, you act poor. In other words, your behavior reflects your conditions NOT your race.

15. If we eliminated poverty and white supremacy, there would be no poor folks or niggers.

16. "Nigger" should never be a term of endearment. This is like greeting a friend who just lost his job by saying, "How you doing, you 'out of work person'?"

17. In the absence of white supremacy, niggers would not exist.

18.  In the absence of white supremacy, there would be no need for niggers.

19.  A moral and just society is "nigger-proof." (because there would be no need to invent niggers).

Once we understand what a "nigger" is, we will understand that a made-up word DOES NOT DEFINE WHO WE ARE; it defines WHAT IS BEING DONE TO US.

Once we understand what the word "nigger" means, we will stop being afraid of a word we did not create. Once we understand that "nigger" does not define (or limit) our humanity, we will stop being ashamed of a word that says more about the creator than it does about us. Then, we will have the time and energy to turn our collective focus to eliminating the conditions that have created "niggers" all over the world. [MORE]
