[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] Well, I assume our intellectually-challenged friend was, in referring to the calling of black men, bringing up the old argument that the excessive use of "politically correct" terminology does in fact lead to a blurring of the issues that make the original, non-PC, terms so contentious. As I remember it, the classic argument revolved around the word "nigger." By demonising this word - which many African Americans do/did apparently use in everyday conversation - and using other, PC, terms, you are in effect avoiding the actual issues and history of African people in America which makes the word so incendiary. Or something like that. I must admit it never made a lot of sense to me. Personally I don't like the word "nigger," I find it ugly. Of course, maybe we're reading too much into what Meatheaddirx said, and he just likes the idea of calling them "niggers," and thinks the whole dressing-in-sheets, carrying-crosses gig is his idea of a fun time. 8) [/QB][/QUOTE]
