Is the word actually censored in the original article? Pathetic.

He wasn’t fired because of his race, he was fired because he’s an idiot.

I agree with his belief that the way we use this word gives it immense power, and demoting it to just another word would strip away that power.

But he’s an idiot for not realizing that this opinion is not presently permitted in our society. I certainly wouldn’t share it publicly. Fox doesn’t need someone that stupid working for them in the public eye.

PS, there is a soundbite of our current president using the word to sound “street tough” in one of his audio books.

Don’t know if he was “quoting” someone, or just trying for cred.

“A White Reporter”. Give me a break.

FOX countersues because the “reporter” is a world class nit wit.

Entirely too deep an issue to read thoroughly, but I suspect that if Nicole Wolfe gets upset by reference to ""The N-Word"" she probably leaps off the wall if someone says the managers have been "niggardly" with this year's budget!

All we have here is someone saying Nicole appeared "uncomfortable", whatever that means ~ could have been dairy products hidden in her breakfast doughnut, or maybe her panty hose slipped ~ with women that obvious "uncomfortable feeling" all too frequently has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else's reality.

I suggest we bring Nicole onto FR sometime for an interview and see just which words really bother her, which ones don't, and how she sees a way out of the dilemma other than just firing the whitemen she works with.

I'm sure we could plumb the depths of her distress Fur Shur.

Make sure she can type though. I really can't stand to work a discussion thread with anyone who's not a good typist ~ it's just so tacky.

Ms. Taylor responded that she personally did not feel that it was appropriate to use the word '*****' and that she would not do so during her broadcast presentation.

Why were they even doing a news report on a symbolic ceremony to bury the forbidden word?

I agree it is an ugly word.

Does it take away from the youth group's action if there is no media attention? Isn't it really just an exercise in growing themselves to say "I won't use this word which others have used to denigrate me even if Hollywood tells me it is a 'cool' word"?

This playing of the race card is getting quite tiresome.

before we know it there will only be 7 allowable words for us to use in the english language....

Never heard of him. Is this some local reporter?

I’ll bet that white reporter is just a natural nagger. Nag, nag, nag.

First of all “Retarded Reporter”. Yes, it’s stupid to use “the N word”, but “nigger” just seems like a step in the wrong direction too. Maybe “racial epithat”.

Just because someone called a person a “b&tch” doesn’t mean I want it used repeatedly on the news.

[AppyPappy]

Just thinning the newsroom of morons.

[taillightchaser]

Didn’t Mr light in the loafers, Shep Smith use the F word on a show recently? Are they afraid of the fag backlash if they fire him?
