The answer, of course, is "naggers."
Let’s start with rap music.
Are they not going to speak Spanish!
Morales and values should take care of this, not totalitarian, dictatorial priciple.
External force or control isn’t going to change a thing; in fact, it might drive it to new highs (or lows). What is needed is for parents (usually two) to teach right and wrong by example as well as deed. Until that goal becomes the single-minded focus, well, good luck.
Is Negro OK?
These kinds of resolutions are silly. The minute someone asks that any word not be said, everyone is going to start saying it more.
Huckleberry Finn?
The organization is race-based....and therefore inherently racist. How about a petition to disband all race-based committees and organizations.
I notice that HONKY and WHITEY did not make the list???? One of those things that make you go Hmmmmm.
I can re-jigger my vocabulary, if I want to.
Bans such in this fall in line with totalitarinism. We already have a party you can participate to share like philoshies. They are called democrats. As a matter of fact, one of their candidates, John McCain is running as a republican. He hates freedom of speech too. Look into it.
The use of “committee” in any context is a lot worse.
I wonder if Bill and Hillary have used it lately to describe anyone??
Use the N-word hurts the person who utters it a lot more than anyone esle. If you don’t want to use the N word, don’t use it. Freedom means that you don’t legally ban words. They can shove their petition.
In the modern era in which our culture is being assaulted on all fronts, movements like these should be seen as direct assaults on our right to free speech, period. The erosion of our rights is a result of the same template of “doing something for the good of humanity” yet punish the greater sum of the whole" being used over and over again.
And what of other words? The word “niggardly” sounds like the “N-word” but has a completely different meaning. Negro, nigrescent, and nigrous are also words whose etymology goes back prior to southern slaves.
Our discourse is as intrinsic to our culture and customs as our pastimes and professions are. And although the word “nigger” invokes memories of a sad period in our history, it also requires us to never forget it so we don’t slip backwards. Just because you ignore something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Erasing the use of word nigger would have about as much impact on reducing racism as quitting smoking when you already have stage three lung cancer.
Carpenters and writers are much in the same, they build and craft things with their tools. If I were a carpenter, I wouldn’t chose to throw away my pair of “dikes” because it is offensive to lesbians - why would we demand a writer throw away words, the tools of their caft?
Yeah, sure.
I'll notify Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Richard Nixon and a few more that I know that always show up to sign meaningless, mindless, PC crap such as this is.
A waste of bandwidth.
whites should assuage their inherent imperfections (and the resulting heavy heart) through a relationship with God, not by kow-towing to a politically correct (i.e. liberal) agenda. This is useless, empty, fluff, and will not solve a thing.
I have a list of 489 greater problems this country faces, and this didn’t make the list. Oh, but it will give lefties and their fellow-travelers (even if they call themselves conservatives) a chance to get apoplectic and to beat their breasts in (false) indignation.
I don’t know what the N-word is. Nappy-headed?
So, are you hosting the Mark Twain book burning?
