In about 20 years, we're going to see the current students holding a large portion of government jobs and elected offices, and we're seeing that they're not only willing, but actually taking strong arm tactics to push their agendas. If you don't ascribe to their exact belief system, you're not allowed into the party - you can't even be neutral.

Re: PC Police: A New Low
In the urban Mpls circles in which I run, I can't recall anyone born after say '60 or younger ever give a racial slur, such as the n* word. Frankly everyone of this generation or younger is very respectful of Hispanics, Hmong, and Somali. Guessing its a manifestation of 'Minnesota Nice'. Its PC that seems to work. Having said that, there could be some who don't feel the same way.
Edit: perhaps I should delete this post as I just noticed that someone shot a BLM protester on the north side.Last edited by 5mn_Major; 11-24-2015, 10:44 AM.Go Gophers!

Second, I grew up in Apple Valley and Rosemount, on the edge of the suburbs and the then rural farm areas. I grew up hearing that word not a lot, but certainly not such a rare occurrence as it would be nothing. That was one of the areas where two different worlds were coming into conflict culturally."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Now, if you want to clarify lyrics, quotes, "nig-GAH"* (which IS different in black culture), etc....we can do that, that's fine.

As for using the word in a non-slur situation, like quotes and such, I and many people I know do like some rap music, so lyrics come up quite a bit.Never really developed a taste for tequila.

Re: PC Police: A New Low
Originally posted by Brenthoven View PostMy HS was rather diverse, shall we say. Quite a few "ers" and even more "ahs" forms of the word.
Having lived in the northeast, mid-Atlantic, south (though not the deep south) and west, the only place I've ever heard adults use the n-word regularly as a disparaging term is Boston, where blue collars used it constantly as late as the 90s. Lower middle class whites in Boston were laughably racist. In Southie they never got the memo that the 50s are over.Last edited by Kepler; 11-25-2015, 08:53 AM.Cornell University

Originally posted by FreshFish View PostWe recently had a kerfluffle in our state about the word "Negro", which is still part of the United Negro College Fund. The Spanish word for black was used to name a local landmark over a hundred years ago, and now a state senator wants that landmark re-named because he claims the word "Negro" is offensive to some people. I guess the people who run the College Fund didn't get the memo, senator? and what are all those Spanish-speaking people supposed to do when they want to describe the Oakland Raiders team colors?
