LA City Council bans N-word at public meetings, triggering legal threats

Watch your mouth!

The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to ban the use of the N-word and C-word at public meetings — triggering free speech backlash and the threat of a $400 million lawsuit.

The controversial vote by the body allows council leadership to issue a warning for any use or variation of the slurs. Repeat offenders can be booted from the chamber and barred from future sessions.

Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, who is black and introduced the measure, said the use of slurs during public comments has made residents hesitant to attend meetings.

“It is language that, anywhere outside this building where there aren’t four armed guards, would get you hurt if you said these things in public,” Harris-Dawson told the Los Angeles Times earlier this year.

**SNIP**

“I’m going to file my $400-million lawsuit that I already have prepared and ready to file,” Spindler said during public comment, adding he plans to read explicit Tupac Shakur lyrics until he’s banned from a meeting.

Spindler was arrested in 2016 after submitting a public comment card showing a burning cross, a man hanging from a tree and the phrase “Herb = [N-word],” referring to then-Council President Herb Wesson. Prosecutors declined to bring charges.

David Loy, legal director of the First Amendment Coalition, warned the council’s policy likely won’t survive in court.

Almost all N word usage in public is by African Americans.

I wonder to which of the C-words this article refers. Google search brings up three possibilities. (I would hazard a guess it's a reference to lady parts, given context, but a reference to a man's sexual member is a close second.)

Glad they prioritized instead of on things like Fire victims losing everything, but not a single dollar from the $100 MILLION raised ever reached them.

The main thing that needs to be banned from a meeting of the LA Coty Council is Marqueefe.

Does this mean black people can no longer use the “N” word? Does this mean when a black does use the “N” word that he will be punished? I think it will be double standards as usual.

Regarding the “C” word, it’s a vulgar obscenity reserved only for the worst of the worst. The rat party has so many of the worst people cannot help but use it. That’s why the rats want to ban it, because they have a monopoly on “C’s” in their party.

“What is this C word?”

I’m guessing it the four letter word describing the female vagina in a most disgusting way.

The brits seem to like using it quite frequently.
