that is the answer to the question...

that is the answer to the question...

So banning words is the meaning of life?  Interesting...

 

[Rob in Arlington]

Banned?  no.  But she should choose her words better.  Lynching doesn't just "imply" racism, its an act used by racists that is fully connected to that segment of history

This depends heavily on who's ox is being gored.  Redskins was an offensive term 150 years ago, and is today.  However, the economic influence of that demographic means nothing to the NFL and local ownership continues to get a pass on this.

Don, I love Jersey, I have no problems with it. I just don't like Bruce.

Well now I know you're lying.  There's traffic, there's grim weather, there's beaches that are full of gross bodies and grosser water.  Oh, and speaking of car commercials, don't ever try and buy a car here.  These guys make street urchins seem respectable.

I can think of many problems with Jersey, but I appreciate the sentiments nonetheless.

Robin Givhan wrote about this in Sunday's Post. Including the DC mayoral aide who resigned after using the word 'niggardly'.

Jersey- the armpit of the NorthEast 

 

[The Bopper]

My favorite part of Jersey is that anyone can get into the state, but if you try to leave, youre charged a toll.

I agree Redskins was an offensive term, but business and society changed that term for the good.  The N-Word is still debated among the black community.  The one thing that is offensive is the Cleveland Indians logo, which is terrible stereotype.
