Warrior Lacrosse, one of the sports preeminent equipment companies, recently ran a promotion in which it gave away pairs of its Dojo shoes to people who used the hashtag Ninja Please.
The actual meaning behind Ninja Please is the N-word Please, (Charlotte Hounds midfielder Jovan) Miller told WCNC. They put ninja in it to kind of disguise it.

Uh, not precisely, although it is a bigoted phrase directed at Asians; it is derived from the N-word phrase, IINM.

Somebody forgot to send them the GOP codeword book. Oh geez, somebody forgot to send a codebook to Target, too.

So now it’s racist if people think you’re substituting a word for the N-word.
I’d hate to have to live in their heads for even 15 minutes.
If you’re looking for racism everywhere, you’ll find it.

You must be a ninja lover. I am more of a Kung fu fan. I wonder what hat means?

In order to substitute a word for the n-word, you first have to think of the n-word. You have to sound it out in your mind to find a suitable replacement, and THAT, well...

Nectarine Please!
I know, that’s racist.

The Green Hornet TV Show is well known in Hollywood to be a racist slant toward the Japanese.Racist "slur" against? Racist "slight" against?
Everybody knows that the word "slant" is racist!/s

Warrior is also a growing name in hockey.
A while ago they came out with a stick called the "Johnson" along with a pair of gloves called "Strokers"...

We ought to make folks say any word they are telling us not to use. There are a ton of “N-words” PCism needs to be squashed as it reduces the vocabulary, not be cause the words are offensive, or even that so many people find them offensive, but because the Left has discovered they can prey on faux guilt to control and marginalize the opposition.
