As is generally the case, I disagree with your somewhat stretched conclusion on that.

It's not my call. If certain words are offensive to certain people, I'm okay not using them. It's not important to me to be able to use the "n word" with African Americans. Nor is it important to me to use the "c" word with women, or the "k" word with Jewish people, etc., etc., etc. I accept that these are offensive words w/ these groups of people, and move on with my life.

Exactly, you wouldn't walk into a 2nd grade classroom and say 'what the fuck are you studying'... same thing.


Racial slurs are a way of dehumanizing the lower socioeconomic groups - who ever they are- and is all about keeping them from moving up the economic ladder with lower pay and less respect as a group and as individuals, instead of judging a person by the content of his/her character. Dividing the races with racial slurs and dehumanizing certain parts of society has always been a core value of the right who for over 100 yrs have constantly squeezed labor for lower wages and workplace rights.

Damn I'm feeling left out, no one has called me 'Hillbilly' since I talked to my sister at christmas time. LOL! We use it as a term of endearment!

We've just had a thread about some liberal talking about "crazy crackers and their hateful speech"....
We hear about "the rich", "corporate elites", "fundies", "religious-right", "evangelicals", "the gap between rich and poor", "paying your fair-share", etc....the list of
buzz words and phases is endless.....all used by liberals and Democrats to do just what you accuse "the right" of doing.....
Dividing the races with racial slurs and dehumanizing certain parts of society .....
Guess you don't quite see it from that perspective do you....

This has been the MO of Democrats and liberals for the last 100 years and still is today, from where I sit....so I see it as you being 180' out of sync with reality.
Divide and conquer is what they do and they do it with expertise

Holy shit, what do I have to do to stop that this latest malignancy trying to attach itself to the English language? What the fuck is wrong with Americans that they constantly want to screw with the few rules of English that make perfect sense? Why are you trying to pollute the English language with your toxic gramma (sic)?
