No, it isn't a new TV show for the WB. On Friday, the Los Angeles city council voted to "ban"...well, symbolically ban, the use of the 'N' word. Whenever there is a vote to limit free speech I am all for it. Seriously, we do not need that word or many other words in our vocabulary (we really don't use that many anyway..albeit the "bad" seem to be well-used). We should take the lead of 14-year-old McKay Hatch who started the No Cussing Club in South Pasadena where the club's motto is, "Leave people better than you found them." Yeah! You need to commit like this member because she is destined to be the most polite little whore you will ever meet (talk to me in another 5 to 7 years). The NCC (No Cussing Club) has had a big enough impact that the South Pasadena City Council is/was considering a "no swearing ordinance". Right on! McKay Hatch for President!
Back in LA, Lamont Jordan had this to say when told he could no longer use the 'N' word, "Nigga, please!"
Bernard Parks, who introduced the resolution, says that the 'N' word "connotes a lazy person with no self respect or regard for family, a person who is ignorant, stupid, slow moving, does not speak proper English and has childlike qualities."
If this is the definition then we shouldn't be banning use of the word, instead we should be painting it on certain individual foreheads...starting with the leader of the free world, G. Dubya. Los Angeles has more pressing problems than its' citizens using the 'N' word. Problems like violence, pollution, and drunk-driving celebrities deserve some attention too.
