Just damn.
Black conservative ping
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
Call it "Jesse's Law".
All this because of Kramer?? Black comedians rant and rail against whites all the time in their act. Big deal.
I don't believe that the First Amendment to the Constitution will allow the ban on a word that a group finds offensive. The First Amendment GUARANTEES the right of free speech to all, except for speech which advocates the overthrow of our Government. If Jesse Jackson is allowed to proceed with this ridiculous idea, then where does it stop. The curbing of free speech in this country is slowly being denied to the Citizens of America.
I would be thrilled if Jesse Jackson actually got a real job.
Let's put everyone is jail who uses it. /sarc
So Kramer called some black guy the n-word. Big deal. The guy could have just walked out and been done with it. But no, we can't have that when there was a white man to be destroyed (maybe deservedly so). Words are words. If name calling is going get an adult all upset, then I can think of a really descriptive name to use that we used to describe whiny people when I was in high school.
Jesse Jackson now reveals his true colors: he's a totalitarian who does not believe in free speech. One of teh most high -profile members of the thought police. Beware of people like this. They are a threat to freedom. (They really don't believe in it.)
Just damn.

i KNEW Dr King well in the 1960s and he DESPISED jesse jackson, as he said that jesse was a POSEUR, who was concerned ONLY about jesse & "making a buck".
jesse hasn't changed. it's still "all about" jesse & $$$$$$$$$$. nothing more. nothing less.
free dixie,sw
I think this fall under the "You can't yell "N!&&@, please!" in a crowded theater rule...
Does this mean that the DEF comedy clubs will all have to be shut down?
That Jesse Jackson advocates "abridging the freedom of speech" is no surprise. The Constitution means nothing to him.
Noted this morning on MessNBC that Jesse admitted at least one of the targets of Kramer's (Michael Richards) tyrade were associates of Jackson's daughter. He also said that he knows Richards personally. This whole thing looks scripted to me.
How about banning the racist slur "Uncle Tom"?
I always took it to be derived from Negro,which is pronounced "Nee-gro".It's about the same way the Japenese take offense to the word "Jap".
Uh oh! "Uncle Jesse" just lost 98% of the rapper vote.

In the article:
>> The word is vile.
The word is a noun and has different and subjective meaning depending on who's using it and the context it's being mentioned. It seems to be the case, however, the use of the word paralyzes most people through either one of the two poisons of racism or political correctness.
Jackson is not raving mad, but setting the stage for greater abuses to come
With a simple majority in both houses, this could be passed.
Would any president be brave enough to veto this?
Would lawyers be "punished" for challenging this in court?
This could be the stepping stone used to nulify much of the constitution. This could open the door to real tyrany.
Imagine in 2008, a DemocRAT president, and the making PC speech guidelines enforceable by law.
