Why do we even allow that name in the first place?

Remember the outcry when a DC official used the word "niggardly" in a press conference? People were upset because the word sounded like the n-word even though it was a perfectly acceptable word.

We should call for a ban on the name Niger for the same reason.

Thanks for reminding me. One particular DC councilman took extreme offense at the remark. I have been meaning to send him a dictionary as a present, but have yet to do so.

Oh you're letting the media off WAY too easily on that one.THAT was an UPROAR LOUDER than the entire 2-3 Media Defense of # 42 and his Mis-Actions.(How about ALL the things the media simply IGNORED?)They were going to fire that man until somebody got a Dictionary.It was "Media Execution" of that man and I'll bet they never apologized either.
