LOL, The messages on the bus have been in use for 12 years and someone is offended by them just now? The Port Authority officials say they’ve recently received complaints that one of its slogans, “Ziggin Zaggin,” is offensive when read backwards, seeming to spell out a racial slur.

LOL, some people need to get a life.

Wow! All this time I have heard that the education system was failing young black people and now we learn that they can read backwards! If you gave me a lifetime, I would never be able to see that unless I was given a hint.

When a White kid under performs in school, he or she is the one who failed the education system and they have nobody to blame but themselves. When Black kids under perform in school, it is the education system that failed them.

When White kids under perform in school, it is because they have low IQ's. When Black kids under perform in school, it is because of racism and White supremacy holding them back.

Hahaa...the Port Authority could solve the problem by just adding the letter "G" as in "OG" as in original gangster.

And then pipe this through the PA system in the stations:

One of the first albums consisting of that uniquely American, poetic, and truth-telling form of music called gangsta "rap" () was entitled "Straight Outta Compton." It featured joyful and soul-satisfying works such as "F da Police" and "A B*itch is a B*tch." Whenever the "artists" who were responsible for this revolutionary work of art were mentioned in print media, their group's name was written backwards so as to skirt censorship and avoid offending the easily offended.

The "euphemized, cleaned up" version read "Efil4Zaggin."
