Ethnic names that have been in use through my 69 years:

colored, black, African-American

Then of course there's the N-word, which has been popular in the black community since Jesus was a pup. They change their race names like they change their underwear.

In my 68 years, I would add: Negro, Afro-American, people of color.

I was at a crosswalk in New Jersey last week, in a complex with a few hotels. A very attractive foreign-speaking (maybe German) woman was with a male companion. All of a sudden, a “person of color” had a radio cranked and the N-word was stated (sung?) at least three times in about 30 seconds. He continued walking. The woman glanced at me in a moment of a horrified appearance. I wanted to say “Welcome to America” but opted to return a look of astonishment.

C’mon man, Don’t go all PC on us. I’m 66 and the word “nigger” was a common word used by blacks and whites, back in the day. While it was “crude”, it was not a “hate” word. You would hear it in public like you could other vulgarities.

Last I checked “nigger” is still a real word today. This silly “N” word substitute for the real word nigger used today is ridiculous! It is the height of political correctness.

There are many more vulgar words spoken on radio and live TV these days. How is it that “nigger” has become “the word that shall not be spoken”?

It’s JUST A WORD! A vulgar word, but just a word. It’s like saying hell or damn, I could go on.

The way to end PC is not to participate. I know it’s hard, as we have allowed it to be woven into our culture, but we MUST fight back every time it rears it’s ugly head.

PC is more vulgar than ANY word, including the word nigger.
