Seems like this administration wants to tell us how to talk and which words to use and not use. How about we just ignore them and talk as we have always talked and if they don't like it, who cares. They need to get over it.
Let's face it. According to the left, we're all racists. They can think that all they want. I don't care what they think or what words they don't want me to use. They are idiots and don't own me. I refuse to be brainwashed.
No on eis asking you to stop using blacklisted or compelling you too, but for peopel writing formal reports their employer can tell them what word means what classification, and they dont have to keep it the word that you like, you have nothing to do with this, or your personal preferences. I am 45 an I roll my eyes t half of this stuff, but its not for me, the young people its their world I dont care.
Do you contest the fact that things have been framed as white is good and black is bad? I dont think thats debatable, sure its silly and most people dont care or take offense, but what is wrong with fiixing things that have a legacy of racism or their roots in it like many things, why is that wrong? Why are so offended by change, if they start calling the list golist/banlist why does that bother you?
If you're so fragile that the word "blacklist" offends you, you shouldn't be anywhere near the halls of power, never mind burrowed into our security apparatus.

Is it black Americans, or self-regarding (mostly) white Americans morally elevating themselves supposedly on behalf of black Americans? Does anyone in the 'hood in Chicago or Memphis or St. Louis actually give a damn about the word "blacklist"?
