Political Correctness Bad. Liberals Bad.

Quote:
Conservative radio host and founder of PragerU, Dennis Prager said that the left had made it "impossible" to say the n-word, even to decry its usage, on his radio show Thursday.

In response to a phone call to The Dennis Prager Show about racial hate and anti-Semitism in America, Prager addressed a question about why he chose to say "the n-word" before using a slur for Jewish people in a previous segment about the private racism and anti-Semitism of former presidents Harry Truman and Richard Nixon.

Dennis Prager is Jewish. He's also a champion of free speech, like you should be.

Is it bad to call a Jewish person nig-gardly? Asking for a friend...

So, that mean it's also idiotic if we can't said the "K-word"?

Btw, that reminds me of that South Park clip.

Prager will just have to get over it. The answer is a resounding “NO.” he can’t use the term openly.

I don’t know why people wanna keep fighting battles that have been settled already. It’s a done deal. Sure, say it to other whites if you must, but calling a black person the n-word is just gonna cause unnecessary issues that no one needs.

Just leave it alone. It’s not worth it.

I don’t know why he needs to use the n-word on a show about anti Semitism. What’s the point?

So I assume you are part of the liberal crowd who wants to ban schools from letting students read Huck Finn
b/c the book has characters using the n word?

I think it depends on the context and who is saying it.

Quentin Tarentino uses it in a film (110 times ), seems to be accepted.

When a conservative a-hole says it, not accepted.

Yeah I don't see what the big deal is either. There are many words we don't say in public. Like you I am a vet and after boot, the F word was used like a comma. Some things are just not said in polite company.

The N word isn't just another word. It has historic significance. It is a word that was used to dehumanize 1 specific race. All whites know this. We know it just like we know not to use the C word in front of our wives, mothers or daughters. I could be wrong but that word is also no allowed to be spoken on air.

The N word and blacks using it. Given that it is a slur that was created against blacks, I am confident that blacks know when to use it, how to use it, and should be allowed to decide who can or can't use it.

I never have the desire to use the word. Their are plenty of adjectives to describe blacks that I don't like without making it a racist insult.
