Recently, I ran across a piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer that lays out four racist words and phrases that should be banished from the English language. It begins like this:
"Editor's note: Please be aware offensive terms are repeated here solely for the purpose of identifying and analyzing them honestly. These terms may upset some readers."
Steel yourself, brave reader, here they are:
Peanut gallery
Eenie meenie miney moe
Gyp
No can do
The same grammarian who authored the piece had previously confronted the "deeply racist connotation" of the word "thug," noting that President Donald Trump "wasn't the least bit bashful" when calling Minneapolis rioters "thugs" in a tweet, despite the word's obvious bigoted history. In 2015, President Barack Obama referred to Baltimore rioters as "thugs" as well. He likely did so because "thug" – defined as a "violent person, especially a criminal" – is a good way to describe rioters. It's true that not everyone in a riot engages in wanton violent criminality. Some participants are merely "looters" – defined as "people who steal goods during a riot." That word is also allegedly imbued with racist connotations, according to the executive editor of The Los Angeles Times and others.

Any smartypants with a Master’s degree must repent.

Little Bobby Shaftoe
Princess and the Pea
Felix the Cat Cartoons
Heckle and Jeckle cartoons

And on and on. We will have gone full circle when all that is left is grunts for speech.
If anyone dares to use these terms, please throw them in the Paddy Wagon.
Disciples of Kali, it was imperative that they kill without spilling blood.
The Left has a goal here.
If they can force you to accept their take on words we all use, and what is allowed or NOT allowed, then they can certainly force you to do their will, or stay silent as they have their way with things.
ALWAYS resist. For the sake of your FREEDOM, resist.
Apparently pidgin english throws shade on illegals and other Rat constituents. These language police woulda gone nuts around GIs and Mama sans in Japan in the 50s & 60s. Wassamaata you, GI?!

Ban all old Loony Tune cartoons. Ban Roger Rabbit!
Chester Hines' novel If He Hollers, Let Him Go (New York: Doubleday, 1945) is about life in the black community in Los Angeles. The title refers to a version of the nursery rhyme in which the subject is something other than a big cat.
I was raised hearing the “tiger” version of the rhyme as we.
But the other night I was watching a 1930s film on YouTube and heard someone using the offensive version, very casually. Had to say I was shocked.

All language is racist if it did not originate in Africa.
Citizens will now be required to learn an African language—if they want to speak at all!
Forward!

One of my favorite nursery rhymes when I was a kid, but now highly racist. Black sheep, as in "black sheep of the family" is an expression you can't use anymore. One of Baa Baa's customers is a master--now considered a racist word that is being purged from the English language. The other two, the dame and the flapper girl, are negative sexual stereotypes.
Who knew Howdy Doody’s “Peanut Gallery” was racist?
This is the kind of nonsense, up with which, I will not put.
Along with another saying I’ve used all my life - “long time, no see”. Apparently that’s “racist” too. Go figure.-

I suppose, “I haven’t seen you in a coon’s age” is out of the question?
Is “Guilty negro criminal boy” banned, or merely just in disuse?
