Words That Begin With N

This story is about a democrat congresswoman who is in trouble for repeating the N word. She's not in trouble for saying it. She's in trouble for REPEATING it. Notice we even have to say and type “the N word” when referencing the N word.

My problem with this (other than the fact that if it had been a republican, the networks and every democrat available would be screaming at the top of their lungs for immediate resignation, because they don’t let any crisis go to waste, they told us that) is the quote by Al Sharpton, who can be counted on making an appearance anytime something might in any way be construed as having racial undertones.

"The quote by Congresswoman Maloney if accurate is alarming and disturbing at best," said Sharpton in a statement. "No public official even in quoting someone else should loosely use such an offensive term and should certainly challenge someone using the term to him or her."

When does Al the race baiter come out and criticize when rap artists use the word? When does he come out when ANYONE who is black uses the word?

I know this is a dead horse, but it’s common sense, people. The word is either wrong or it’s not. It can either be used or it can’t. It’s either offensive or it’s not.

It can’t be a powder keg in one instance and a term of endearment in another.
