* Fortunately this memo doesn’t categorize words like “cracker” as potentially offensive. *

It will be included in the banned words. It starts with a “C”.
Please refer to my earlier post.

How can being a citizen of one's country be offensive to others, unless they are invaders with the intent to displace you?

When you have to say one of the 14,000 banned Seattle words, yet to be published, you could always hum the word like Edith did when Archie banned the words “Cling Peaches”

I think that after this has come to light, mentioning the fact that someone is from Seattle will be deemed offensive.

It’s hard to take anyone seriously who is too illiterate to know the difference between ‘sorted’ and ‘sordid.’ Did Rachel Jeantel write this garbage?

"For 'citizens,' how about 'residents?'"

Let's see if we can use these words in a sentence!

Hmmm. How about: "We're using US CITIZENS' tax money to support a whole LOT of ILLEGAL ALIEN RESIDENTS lifestyles so they never have to go back to the $hitholes that they came from."

Yeah, that works. :(

It used to be a way people could judge skin color," Bronstein said in a phone interview.

No, it does not, and never has!!

You're damn right that's offensive! The word "libtard" is a combination of "liberal" and "retard." You need to apologize to retards for lumping them together with liberals.

Since I find any mention of the drug-addled communist in our White House to be offensive, would this ban all mention of Obama, all written or spoken implementation of ObamaCare, and all ballots from carrying the names of anyone who supported Obama? As wonderful as that sounds, even the social parasites have the God-given human rights that they try to deny us, and I would oppose that interpretation (or any other interpretation) of this law.

Is it true, though? Was people’s skin color actually compared to brown paper bags for discriminatory purposes?

It sounds apocryphal to me.

It's not apocryphal, it's just a damn lie.

I'm old enough to remember when brown paper bags were all there were. I'm also old enough to remember the (real) civil rights movement, the Selma march, Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech, etc, as it happened.

There was never any connection between brown paper bags and anyone's skin color.

Total BS.
