A London city councillor shocked her fellow politicians when she used a racial slur during a council meeting on Tuesday.
Sandy White used the ‘n-word’ while trying to argue for women’s rights in relation to an advertisement posted on transit property which she called degrading to women.
“If the ad had n—–, people would be offended,” White argued after holding up a poster of Katy Perry.
White was calling on two council members to apologize for comments made about her resignation from London’s Transit Commission.
She later told council she used the word for shock value.
Coun. Harold Usher, the only black politician on council, told the London Free Press he was shocked by the slur.
“I was so stunned, I had to keep silent because I knew if I had opened my mouth I would have exploded,” he said.
“I think it’s unfortunate we have to stoop so low at council – this is the lowest I’ve ever experienced it.”

According to a Google search its only a “slur” if a person of another race says it (Which she is) .. she could of used “white trailer trash” in which case she would have been referring to herself and have every right to use it. Give your head a shake Councillor … what you say in a council meeting is public ( unless its “in camera”) if you want shock value … resign and go back to ethics school.
she used the word for shock value??!!! using a racial slur for shock value??!!! O.o
Where do these people come from? Who elected her? Obviously in way above her head. What a piece of work!
