It’s a word. Words only have the power you let them have.

We’ll agree to disagree, and I’ll leave it there.

I find many of the words used towards Melania and Ivanka wrong. Yes, I know they are just words ... but “actions” are “just actions” too.

Some people are trying to live in a polite society, some are not.

Or a comedian.

Anyone remember Lenny Bruce talking about how long it took them to teach LBJ how to say the word "Negro"?  (youtube link 1)

And here's another amusing example of a black comedian using that word that a white comedian can't use.  (youtube link 2)

The C-word was almost on the N-word plane of taboo not long ago. Now that Trump is in office, it’s the Left’s go-to word for any woman in Trump’s administration.

Just today heard someone listening to some rap music. In a 2-3 minutes span I must have heard the N word 6 times and other derogatory terms for women at least 8-10 times.

You con’t have it both ways, it is either offense or not.

I will never let others dictate to me what I can and can’t say.

Pretty much period.

at-will employment means the employer can let you go for any reason or none. that is a conservative value isn’t it?

“boy” is a white racist word. At least according to Michael Evans on one of the episodes of “Goodtimes”.

What n-word did he use? Last time I checked, there are lots of words that start with the letter ‘n’.

Could someone post the word he actually said? Thanks.

Umm... You can't say that. It's an oxymoron, like "honest white man," "charitable republican," or "individual liberty."
