Rush Limbaugh's claim that it's acceptable for him to say "#######" -- with the "a" at the end -- because some African-Americans have used that derivation of the racial slur drew strong criticism from several black journalists and commentators who called him "harsh" and a "bully."

You heard it here first. If blacks didn't take this word and make it "ours" we wouldn't have this problem. Makes me sick.

Roland Martin, the former CNN commentator and veteran media voice, agreed.



"I have always made it clear that I do not believe that the N-word should be used," Martin said in a phone interview. "It is a word, a hateful word that has been used against black folks for a long time." He said that debating it makes no sense: "When was the last time you saw Jews in this country having a debate, 'hmmm should we use the K-word?' or Hispanics debating, 'should we use the W-word?"



Whats the "K" word? I know they have an "H" word but I can't think of a "K" word...

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Thanks for the link...

There was a link within the wiki article "Ethinc slurs" - probably will get me fired for clicking it for increased CPU usage on the server scanning for bad words..

"Twinkie" - A person of European descent that claims to have a bloodline with American Indians or a person of Asian descent that has fully assimilated into american mainstream culture... I remember that word meaning something totally different.

In the gay community a Twinkie means something entirely different.

Not that there's anything wrong with it...lol

I think I know where you are going on this one. This was usually associated with asians a while ago.
