I remember the initial DVD release and the US soldiers referred to the enemy combatants as ragheads. The version I purchased later doesn't have that word.
Or am I imagining things?
Which is why we now have clusterflock... Whatever that is...
I also googled my question and Chris Kyle is demonized all over the net. They can't appreciate his heroism because of his personal faults, whatever those might have been.
That's ok. I understand. My bank is closed today because of Martin Luther King. But I refuse to honor that man because he was a drunk and was getting increasingly out of control. He preached non violence but he had a penchant for young, white prostitutes and liked to beat them. It's a travesty we have a holiday for him.
“I watched Blazing Saddles once and only non-whites used the N word.”

Though when it was shown on network television in the 70s one line was oddly changed.
When Black Bart greets the the little old little in the street - in the film she says:
“Up yours, Nword!”
On network version she said:
“Get out of my way, Nword!”
They edited out a hilarious & well-delivered line, replaced it with an unfunny one and kept the “Nword”. Insane.
Watched Lampoon’s Animal House couple nights ago, and they had a brand new wood piece going across the window when Bluto was looking at the beautiful topless coed in the window. Kinda’ wish they’d leave things alone.
What differences are there?
Agathy Christie’s Story “And Then There Were None”, was originally titled “Ten Little Negroes” except she didn’t say Negroes. It was then changed to “Ten Little Indians”.
Then of course it had to be changed again.
I always thought those particular lyrics ruin that song anyway
Every now and then, taking out the curse words actually improves the movie.
I saw “Kick Ass” on TV and not having the little girl using those words was a plus.
If he had any serious positive effect on the Negro population, the cities never would have burned after he was shot. He was a phony from the word go; and if he'd lived, he'd have had his hands out for taxpayer goodies and would be condemning everything that has been beneficial to the Negro community.
And don't forget his affiliation with the Communists. This whole "MLK" day is a joke . . . an insult to our Presidents who never got a holiday dedicated in their honor. The only good thing about MLK is that when they dedicate a road in his name, we know which neighborhoods to stay out of.
Stay tuned, because the whole next month of February is "Civil Rights" month.
I was wathing on I think AMC and that is what they did.
So would using the non-PC term sand n-word be better?
The gif I posted is from the series “The Good Place”, wherein if the inhabitants thereof try to curse, they can’t - it comes out as something more acceptable instead.
Is that on Netflix? Looks funny.
There was a funny bit on the local Sports radio station here in Dallas featuring Barry Switzer, who liked to say the words like “Hell” and “Damn”, called “Undercussing”, it was pretty funny.

Try finding “Song of the South”.
I finally got one and ripped copies and stored ‘em in various places.
Rarer than hen’s teeth.
Take note of the date the video was posted and what they say.
