Jesse Jackson Will Fight To 'Prohibit' Public Use of N-Word---

It's Jesse Jackasson, please.

;-)

Richards to be on Jackasson's radio show tomorrow.

Thrilled.

[Ken522]

So now blacks won't be able to say, "Cracker?"

[alloysteel]

Public AND private, Jesse. Doan be usin dat word on dem as ain't in your posse, neither. Even in strategy meetins.

[beyond the sea]

Jesse was lookin' a little raggedy this morning wasn't he? Must not be a morning person.

Shame doesn't require a law. If we as a society stopped paying to hear comedians spew their filth, it would stop. But some of us in this country are just stupid.

[highimpact]

What about banning the use of the word "himey?"

[jsk10]

looks like Robert Byrd would be in trouble

[samtheman]

There are only two questions of substance regarding anything Jesse Jackass does. What's his angle? What's his cut?

Jesse Jackass is only in it for the money, no matter what the subject is.

[Dante3]

This is idiotic. That word is in some of our works of literature. What if I want to tell my kids not to use it?

It already sounds absurd to say "N-word." As the list of forbidden words grows beyond the alphabet and several may start with the same letter, will we have "Ni-word" "We-word"?

[DManA]

"I might add that we're really going to begin to fight to prohibit that word in public usage as hate language." Black folk could still fling the word around because they aren't using it as "hate" speech don'tcha see?

Actually this is much worse than outright prohibiting the word. He wants (presumable with state power ) to control what people think.

Insert Constitution Here

[aculeus]

It's power tripping ... "We can use the N-word but if you do you're an evil racist."

Jackson is too late.

[Lee'sGhost]

The words "jesse jackson" are offensive to me. Let's ban those words.

Chappelle Alert? Jesse Jackson Will Fight To 'Prohibit'

Maybe he should fight to stop adultery instead...

The only people I hear using the N word are blacks. The kids mostly.

[alisasny]

Has Jesse Jackass been on an NYC subway recently? I must hear the word a hundred times in a row when a group of African Americans get on the train and start talking.

[kabar]

It will kill the rap and hip-hop music business.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

For the record, some Googling reveals that Chappelle has apparently renounced the use of the n-word. I've asked the admin mod to substitute Chris Rock in the headline.

They'll get their stinking reparations... by way of kangaroo-courts.
