Port Authority of Allegheny County said Wednesday it will remove promotional slogans on nine buses that appear to spell a racial slur when read backward or viewed in a mirror.

Transit agency spokesman Jim Ritchie said a driver complained Tuesday after seeing the message “Ziggin Zaggin” on a bus in her vehicle's rear-view mirror.

The proper response would be to laugh in the face of the whining idiot.

Telling them either to get lost or grow up is more than they deserve.

It’s “niggaz” as in “Wazzup, my niggaz.”

I should burn my Beatles albums because, when played backwards, there are hidden messages from the devil. Maybe we should delete all words from the English language that, when written backwards, have some offensive meaning.

Beat me to it. The message here is the Blacks can use this small blip in the roadway to eternity as a way to develop some self control. They need to learn how to control themselves if they get bent out of shape over something as trivial as ‘Ziggin’ Zaggin.’ Play some hip hop or something. And, don’t get influenced subliminally by the demonic message imbedded in the tunes played backwards. That may mean some real work at self control—possibly some time on the therapy cot.

Seriously, what will happen if someone on TV calls an overly complaining Black woman a Nagger!

Are Riggin and Raggin going to be banned too?

I’m offended by people being offended and I will not tolerate intolerance. Is that PC enough?

From micro aggression to backwards aggression. The country is self-destructing on pretzel logic. Now I gotta worry about what words might imply reflected in mirrors. The only solution is to ban mirrors. No - ban reflections. That’s about the speed of the liberal mind.

The Port Authority should demand that all these hip hop/rap/black comedians recant on their own use of ziggan (or whatever it is) spelled backwards, so to speak. And only then will they discuss this nonsense.

Long past time the non whites get called on for their own hypocrisy and racism.

Anyone remember the use of the word niggardly and how it set certain people off and they demanded apologies and for people to not use the word? Just because of the way it SOUNDED.

The are in a mode to get as much as they can while they can, just pushing the envelope ‘just because’.

I’m not sure who is more offended by everything—blacks or muslims.
