That's liberal BS of the worst kind; you'll be saying you 'don't see colour' next. Pfft. Educate yourself - hell, buy a Roots DVD boxset and tell me it's 'just a word' after watching that. It's not backbone that 'some people' need (who would these people be, by the way?) it's a brain - use it or lose it! Anyway, c*** really IS just a word, but we don't use it all the time, and it's not had a history of being used to systematically denigrate and oppress a group of people. It's one of the few insults/curses that genuinely has any power, and that's the beauty of our language - we have a select few words that can cause upset when it slips out. They've said sorry, let's all move on now - there are worse things to worry about, that much is true. Only a damn fool or a white person would say ‘nigger is just a word, lighten up’.

My god...I don't want to live in a country where no one has a sense of humor anymore. Bring me back the 70s and the 60s where people could say anything and people had to just deal with it. We are too worried about our "FEELINGS" for people to be able to move and live in this place....get me outta here!!!!! what has happened to everyone’s sense of humor?

What about all the lies and attrocities our own President commits every single day of his life? What about what is going on in Dafur? This country and it's conservative bullshit is starting to get on my nerves. When did this country become so intolerant and judgemental? My god...it was a word...just like the word "NIGGER"...that word gets people fired and sued now. They are words....words friends. remember the old childhood poem. "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me"....we need some backbone in some people.

Here in Amherst, Mass we have a HIGH SCHOOL that will perform 'VM' tonight (yeah, the same one that banned a performance of "West Side Story" in 1999). School officials will not apologize. They are proud. Only in Amherst! Yeah, but she also thought it was okay to pose on an anti-aircraft guy used to shoot down US planes.
