Try to watch a hip-hop song on youtube with closed captioning.

I must say, watching free to air television in Los Angeles, I got caught up on re-runs of "The Jeffersons" and "Johnny Carson" episodes where he had Richard Pryor as a guest.

These days, you're not even allowed to name all the Richard Pryor albums.

---

A few years ago they did a live broadcast tribute of a classic episode of "The Jeffersons". The original dialogue features one character, a black woman, using the n-word in casual conversation. The original episode was run uncensored in the 1970s. In the modern live broadcast, it was bleeped out.

The cast struggled with how to handle it. They decided having the actress actually saying it but bleeping it was "so brave".

Joey Swoll was stupid to applogize in the first place.

Bending the knee to extreme radical leftists is NEVER a good idea.

We have too many of these taboo words. Like n word, c word, p word, d word.

WTF. They are just words.

people need to quit being a bunch of b words. Amirite!?

Never apologize to the woke mob, especially if you have done nothing wrong.

Most of them should be in a mental institution and they want to make everyone as miserable as them.

"Nagger"?

It clearly isn't that offensive, because I hear blacks calling each other that name all the time, and I've yet to see even one person get mad at the other guy

I know we have long said that Blazing Saddles and Smokey and the Bandit would not be green-lighted i todays Hollywood but those were late 70s completely different worlds.

But then I have watched movies and TV shows much more recent late 90s early 2000s and realize the same could be said of them. So in the last decade or so this political correctness has consumed our cultural zeitgeist.

I find it ironic that in the name of diversity, the norms are forcing people to be completely the same in speech and thought.

This. It speaks volumes how weak a person or a culture is that a single word has that much power and control over them. This is especially true for virtue signaling white morons who are offended on someone else's behalf about it.

---

It doesn't trigger or control them in the slightest; it's just a tool they use to control everyone else.

Tropic Thunder, an extremely funny movie in 2008 , would get RDJ,Jr canceled today.

How many times have people been accused of using the N-word and it never happened, but exonerated the accuser from whatever criminal behavior they committed?

What Jew talkin' bout?

It's ridiculous that a word that's a "preferred pronoun" within the Black community is so strictly banned from White people using it.

It was trendy for awhile for entertainment writers to periodically declare that some well-known sitcom like "Friends" was "problematic," and spew out a 2,000-word article pointing out all the troubling dialog and characterization.

Hopefully that trend is dead. But I doubt it.

By now, everyone has seen the videos involving the brawl in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend. At the end of the videos, a woman is clearly knocked out. Her name is Holly and I have permission to use her photo. She is badly bruised, was in the hospital for days and is in a… pic.twitter.com/N3ab5OSf4o

Holly in Cincy didn't use the N-word, but here she is sporting her "white privilege".

Look how racist she is. Damn.

How did I ever miss this "individual?"

Teslag said:

Why does the fallout from using this word carry so much weight? Why is it considered worse than actual violence and harm? If we are being completely honest, someone who engages in petty theft is worse than someone using the n-word. In the case of the former, there's actual harm to someone. Hell, running a stop sign is literally worse than using the n-word when it comes to potential actual harm.

Back to the original question. My take has a religious component.

On the one hand we are so guilt-ridden by our past that our Christian heritage has us still seeking absolvement.

On the other, God is dead, and in His place have arisen the new gods and priests and to use a particular word is tantamount to heresy and worthy of burning at the stake.

To that add the Marxist beliefs that criminals are not responsible for their behavior which is better ascribed to the external environment, systems of oppression and such, the solution of which can be socially engineered (because we've become gods unto ourselves - not that our science is any better at predicting waves apparently).

Further add that we like seeing our heroes fall and stories of redemption, heresy on the other hand requires banishment or death.

No.

It's a word.

And apparently it's OK to use rap songs.

It's not nice and it implies a lot of bad crap but Bexly an adult and quit playing victim.

No, a lot of millennials and GenZ think that shows like Friends and Seinfeld are just awful. Now they're even starting to take apart the Big Bang theory.

I heard a rumor that an individual can not even say, "Black Paint" anymore.

I was a huge wrestling fan growing up a child of the 80's. So needless to say I was a massive Hulkamaniac like many his death a week ago pretty much ripped a part of my childhood away. So I've been going down a rabbit hole lately of celebrity and industry reactions to his death. Many have expressed sympathy and admiration for his work, notably The Rock, Trump, Stallone, and others. But among some circles there has been complete derision for him as a "racist" and his caught on tape remarks should tarnish and ruin anything else he did in life. For those that don't remember, in 2015 Hogan was caught on tape using the N-word and saying some really terrible things about his daughter dating a black man. He was kicked out of the WWE hall of fame and terminated from his legends contract. In 2018 he was allowed back after an apology. Some guys on the roster still hold anymosity and refused to even come out for the Hogan tribute last week. Fan forums still have many people that trash him for those comments and define him for them. He was booed in LA in january for supporting trump and those comments.

Keep in mind, Steve Austin beat his wife and never lost his legends contract. Still adored by fans. Chris Benoit murdered his wife and young son and is still adored by some fans because they chalk it up to CTE. Countless other WWE stars have committed actual crimes that resulted in actual harm to others (not hurt feels by the n-word), and still are honored and have seemingly untarnished legacies.

Some people were even shamed and canceled because they dared post tributes to Hogan.

WWE star Chelsae Green was forced off social media because she posted a tribute.

Victimhood is a very powerful tool.

That's why people use it.

Things got this way because white people of past generations never bothered to stand up for themselves and fight back. They allowed themselves to be tyrannized because they were propagandized into thinking they were morally and ethically inferior to other races.

It's not going to stay this way. Gen Z whites do not give a single **** about letting the racial epithets fly. As far as they're concerned, everyone else is using them so it's fair game. I don't think that's necessarily a good thing but it is nice to see they won't just lay down and take it like their fathers did

Tell your friends if they are going downtown, "be smart, don't get Cincinnati'd tonight"

Everyone is correct is calling out the perpetual victimhood problem that so many people have, but most of you need to also take a look in the mirror.

As to the original question, a simple No.

Unfortunately the highly pigmented and high yellas say, "b smar, use be goin too dem berbs and use be gettin David Duked"

For the record David Duke was a democrat. So was Byrd and all the rest of the KKK.

This culture of violence is the bottleneck for this great nation.
