I grew up in the "south", this woman doesn't know what she is talking about. I've encountered more racism here in the "north" than I ever saw in the south.
Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this ping list, let me know.
So afraid of the PC police, the word “nigger” cannot be used, even in context. See “Huckleberry Finn” and the South Park episode “Naggers” (stet)
Something here for everybody to be offended by.
Unfortunately, what constitutes a racist or offensive term is a moving target. Terms that used to be considered polite are now offensive . . . and vice versa.
Various self-appointed arbiters of taking offense don't help by changing their minds periodically.
I think the best approach is what the school did here -- have a structured, rational discussion and clear the air. The corollary is don't mess with the text, because once you start altering things you'll have to do it every 10 years or so to keep up.
“N-word” forum? Did they discuss the use of “niggardly”? Or was it about “negate,” or “nugatory”?
Oh, they mean “nigger”? That’s rather a rude word to call someone else, but no worse than many other rude terms. How about we all address one other by our given names or titles?
It would have been tough for August Wilson to write a "century-old" play since he wasn't even born until 1945. "Joe Turner" was first performed in 1984 when (despite that year's bad reputation) political correctness was not half so asinine as it is today.
Only a ni**ah kin be caulin' a ni**ah a niga**h.....muggaflugga!
Thank goodness.
Why are these so called journalists such liars!
The term is primarily used by African Americans. You know it and I know it!!
These liberals are making life more difficult for blacks by lying to them. Blacks know they're lying. It's part of the game. But it's a put-down to constantly protect - but in reality lie to them.
Between the gang-bangers and the liberals the blacks don't have a chance.
I'm a Joe Turner fan!
