Language and its elements, including words, should be the common property of all. When some words are taken away from one class only, that is done to censor and deprive people of effective speech. Evidently African-Americans can use the word nigger but I, as a white man, cannot. Evidently, a Washington, DC official cannot even use the word "niggardly", meaning parsimonious, because African-American officials, utterly ignorant of the definition of the word, object. That man lost his position.
If Barak Obama is a self-confessed mutt, what does that make his mother? What does that make the son of his mother?
Do I now have space in the world of political correctness to refer to the President-elect as a son of a bitch?
How much more of my language will be stolen from me?
