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.

Indeed and has been for years black comedians have it as part of their acts as well as any bad word you can call a woman.
And the RAP so called music sounds like a training session for the younger ones.
And they wonder why the don’t get any respect. DUH
The C word in question is probably “cracker.” So if you want to bring a snack to the meetings, bring cookies. That’s a safe and harmless C word.
“any variation” = censorship. Fire all these arseholes.
Balderdash — remember when it was deemed unacceptable to take the Lord’s name in vain? One of those “Ten Suggestions” thingies, IIRC.
This crap is ridiculous. Are they going to demand next that all the churches be torn down and a “certain protected class” worshipped as God (”a” god, anyway)?
“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.So, the fact that Black people would physically assault you rather than simply chant, "Sticks and stones..." is now the legal standard for limiting our 1A rights?! Is that a valid legal test?!
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.)
I'm guessing that it's the short form of "racoon."

So what would you ask for if you wanted to wipe some gravy from your chin?

“In England, the word ‘napkin’ is typically used to describe a feminine hygiene product (sanitary napkin). Although most people are aware of the double usage of the word, in London, the word ‘serviette’ is preferred in a restaurant or eating establishment.”
Or I suppose you could ask for a “table napkin”.
“The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to ban the use of the N-word and C-word at public meetings”. I wonder if Negro is allowed?
