And by apologizing Rep. Davis has added credibility to the leftist thought police who have now added the word “boy” to the list of words we can no longer say or use in certain circumstances. My guess is that unless Davis apologized he was threatened with be charged with a hate crime.

We had a list around here somewhere of words and names that can no longer be used.

Two of my favorites: tar-and-feather is supposedly racist because it refers to boiling little black babies alive in tar - supposedly. Actually it’s from colonial America and it happened to royal tax collectors. The other, Little Black Sambo. The story is about an Indian boy, it has nothing to do with Africa but the people who have banned it have probably never read the book.
