Word Ban Spreads

The movement to regulate the English language to force its compliance with current notions of political correctness has spread to New York's suburbs, where Clinton Young, Vice Chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators (D, Mount Vernon) is sponsoring the "symbolic elimination" of the satanic "N-word." Similar resolutions have surfaced in NYC and Brazoria, Texas.

A question for lawyers will be whether these bans apply to words that remind people of the "N-word." Some moonbats consider the word "denigrate" to be racist.

On a tip from Wiggins.

Hmm...guess "niggardly" will be on that list too. It doesn't have "black" as a root (its root is nigla, a norwegian word), but it sure sounds suspicious.

What N-word? Do you mean Nigger? That means that Blacks, I mean, Americans whose ancestry is mostly African, could not teach their children what their ancestors were called. "Those crackers used to call us 'blanks'."
While they're on a roll, they might try eliminating the phrase "fresh piles of manure spewed by hordes of Orwellian Jackasses." We could then just say, "the latest effort of the moonbats."

A couple of years ago, a local commisioner had to publicly appoligise AND resign for saying "We will have to be NIGGARDLY with the city budget".

No lie.

I remember the niggardly incident.

If the American people agree with this lunacy, and don't stand up to say we're not going to take this sort of moral legislating, we deserve to go down with the ship. Moral legislating is anathema to the system devised by the Founders. Moral busybodies will torment us without end if we don't say no to them.

As a side note, does anyone notice that they don't show any desire to ban the many word's used by blacks do describe white people, such as cracker, rice, honkey, etc. etc. etc. No, you do not. That is because political correctness is always a one way street against white people.

Legislating morality only applies to liberal morality. Try legislating something that Jesus would have considered moral.

Also, banning of the word doesn't apply when used as a "term of endearment", meaning blacks can say it to other blacks. Only whites can't say it.
