Nor have I made a legal threat First I am not among those three people who participated in that visit to the BLM protest I have never known any of these people I would not be the offended party in any case I ve never even lived in Minnesota or been there in over 30 years or so I made an airplane connection through Minneapolis in about 1985 as I vaguely recall I am not saying there WILL be any sort of legal proceeding I am merely saying that to cite this claim heard the N word risks running afoul of being libel I think WP rules allow us to express concern that the cite of a vague assertion that somebody heard the N word is problematic from a WP BLP standpoint If multiple BLM protestors claim that they heard one of the white visitors say the N word and it was cited from some reliable source that would probably change my opinion Can you see why this would be a different situation
