Geraldo Demands O’Reilly Stop Saying “Illegal Alien”
Western Journalism ^ | 05-12-2013

Posted on 05/12/2013 11:31:52 PM PDT by Kevin in California

Why? Because Mr. Rivera likens it to calling someone a “negro” or a “homosexual.”

When, how & why it [Negro} became considered a slur is something I can never grasp.

If yours was a serious question, and at the risk of being obvious, here's my serious answer. The word Negro, simply meaning black in Spanish and innocuous itself, finally [it took a while] came into disfavor because long ago a corruption of it resulted in the demeaning word "Nigger."

I agree with Geraldo. I prefer “undocumented criminal.”

i didn’t know homosexual was a derogatory term. I thought it was the scientific term. I guess if we use a term for too long the Left will want a face lift because they don’t like the negativity associate with it. Don’t like Liberals? Progressives. Before long Progressives will be considered derogatory

Does the United Negro College Fund know this?

Should we sue them for racism?

How do we know that Jerry Rivers (aka Geraldo Rivera) is not an illegal alien? After all, he did change is name for a reason.

Anyone calling Illegal Aliens “immigrants” is just insulting and slurring legal immigrants by lumping them with criminal Illegal Aliens.

We do not call shoplifters “customers” nor do we call bank robbers “depositors”......lets call Illegal Aliens by what they are.....they are not immigrants

They are both ass-clowns, but I think Geraldo has the edge Ted Baxter in that category.

True enough. Negro comes from Negroid, the proper terminology for the race (like Caucasoid or Mongoloid).

Negro and homosexual are proper terms and should be preferred over the PC term du jour.

To stifle free speech, the Left will attempt to change the meaning of any words at their whim and the media will carry the message for them to as many as they can.
