If somebody copyrighted the F-word, they could retire off of DU alone.

One is confounded on how to react to one dissing another with the n word, but if non-blk dont you dare utter be uttering it. Also how does "people of color" be a mark of distinction but "colored people" be a slur?

If Damon Wayans wins his quest for ownership of the N-word, one wonders to whom - if any - he will have to answer.

I hope Damon wins ownership, one less word that can be used against us "honkies" for hate crimes........

I don't know Damon Wayan's politics, or much else, but I like his show on TV. I would have to know his intent here. It may be to try to keep rappers and other such lowlifes from keeping it alive.

Anyone know anything about Wayan's "alignment"?

Never mind - I did a search and it seems he wants to trademark the word as a company logo - going "rapper" himself, it would seem.

Just WHAT is the so-called N-word that they are talking about? Why have an article about something which goes unnamed?

Just another indicator, along with such things as rejecting doing well in school (acting white), not snitching (refusing to cooperate with police and complaining that the police can't solve black on black murders),rap music about bitches and hos and violence, of a completely decadent, failed culture.

Yes, some cultures are superior to others.

Amazingly, use of the "N" word will get you banned on this forum. Us good "white" conservatives consider the word offensive.....

So do this mean that somebody using the word could be charged with a hate crime *and* copyright infringement at the same time?
