New York bans Niggers err "Nigger"
The city council of New York has voted to ban the use of the word "nigger".
The resolution to ban the so-called "N-word" is largely symbolic as it carries no weight in law and those who use the word would face no punishment.
But it reflects a growing unease that the racial slur is now part of everyday conversation and that the taboo against its usage has been swept away.
The word is in common usage among sections of the younger generation in the United States.
'Throwback to slavery'
For many years the "N-word" has been used by young African Americans who have appropriated it as a, perhaps ironic, term of endearment.
Now, other ethnic groups have started to use it in a similar context, and those who insist it should be banned are growing increasingly outraged.
Many African American community leaders, with the backing of fellow lawmakers, say it is offensive in every context and that is a word which should never be said.
For them the word is loaded with offensiveness.
They regard it as degrading and a throwback to the times of slavery when blacks were regarded as sub-human, to be bought and sold by their white owners.
The New York City resolution was sponsored by Councilman Leroy Comrie, who says the "N-word" was derived solely out of hate and anger and that its meaning cannot be changed.
But for America's so-called hip-hop generation using the word among themselves is about self-empowerment.
Its usage is habitual and seems culturally fixed and to stop it is likely to take a change in their attitudes rather than an edict from elected officials.
P.S: Apparently along with the word Nigger, the word Niggerguy, and Niggerboy have also been banned, along with Muffintop, and, "Group Orgy". In a controversial move to stop fat women from cutting themselves, and to slow the spread of aids.

Being sexist isn't funny, quoting a sexist is.
http://digg.com/people/ Kansas_Woman_Sat_on_Boyfriend_s_Toilet_for_2_years
I was on Digg earlier, where I was linked to an article titled:
Sheriff: Kansas woman sat on boyfriend's toilet for 2 years; didn't want to leave bathroom.
So naturally I responded to the story with:
"At least she was partially right staying in one place her whole life, but she must have mistaken the toilet seat for the kitchen."
Now heres where it gets interesting, I responded to the digg page with:
"Her parents grew her right, however she might have accidentally mistaken the toilet for the kitchen."
I was quickly dugg down to low negatives, however it appears it has gone up slightly since then. The funny part is, the person directly below me commented with:
"From the Article:
Guest: Straw Gate Wednesday, Mar 12, 2008 06:41 PM GMT-03:00
At least she was partially right staying in one place her whole life, she must have mistaken the toilet seat for the kitchen."
This comment quickly got dugg up, while mine stays at near zero.
So for all sexists, get someone else to say what you were thinking, and then just quote them, it seems people find it funnier when someone isn't sexist, and just quoting a sexist, then actually talking to a sexist.
P.S. Not a sexist.
P.S.S. 21 days on membership, thought I might as well post about something that is bothering me :P
P.S.S.S. Single, currently looking for woman who is an expert at making bacon.(I seem to suck at making good bacon)
