Refusing to print or say "nigger" in reference to the incident is absurd. Tom Send a noteboard - 02/07/2013 01:48:11 AM

By doing so, people make it like Lord Voldemort's name - by not speaking it, it ends up having more power. Incidents like this also make it almost impossible to have honest discussions about race, racism and similar issues.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I do not buy the "everyone is somewhat racist" argument. - 11/08/2013 06:03:31 PM 539 Views
