[fritzalvarez]

F*G F*G F*G that was the word F*G, slang for homosexual. The network already blocked it out.

This is great! Let's also ban "***." If we are going to abridge speech, why not be constant?
Give a gift to our predecessors who were burned at the stake.
Maybe we can also suggest "Black Entertainment Television" change their name to "Entertainment Television." Let's get rid of prejudice in all of its forms.

*****, please!!! It's all B.S. Who gives a rat's *** anyway? The truth....Nobody. It's all about who said it and why. If it's said in jest, everybody laughs....But if a white person says it in anger...all hell breaks loose and every black person out there wants their cut of the money for simply hearing it. That's the simplest way I can explain it.

Black Leaders Ask Stars To Stop Using Racial Slur

What? Blacks have leaders? Where have they been as we've had over a decade of the most obscene,violent, racist,misogynistic,disgusting,degrading,deplorable lyrics from black rap stars. Whites have had this *** shoved down our throats, we've had to try to explain the whole gangsta thing to our kids, geez, if only we would have known there were actually black leaders. And now they're calling for a boycott on Seinfeld. pathetic.

This reminds me so much of the resturant that used to be in south called "Sambos" The restaurant served big stacks of real buttermilk, blueberry and other pancake specialties made from scratch, omelettes prepared with only farm fresh eggs and down home, hearty specials like Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs. And then someone complained of the little black guy on the sign.........Oh how I miss Sambos

Why do white people want to use the n-word so badly? Why do Anglos say "well black people use it, why can't we?"

Because you can't. Accept it. Find another word to say.

w*p and f*gg*t were the two words bleeped out in my message.

[vancouverboo]

what about the White Trash word, the Cracker word and the Redneck word?
What about the **** word, the kike word and the *** word?
What about the *** word, the **** word and the Queer word?
Hmmm?

I believe that there should be no double standard here. Everyone should stop using the "N" word, blacks, whites, hispanics....everyone! Many times I see comedians who use the "N" word when doing bits about other blacks. This is unacceptable as well. But, I agree with the writer that if we start banning words we may as well tear up our Constitution.

Whenever you ban a word you give it more power! Why not try instead to take power away from the word? Make it meaning-less? I KNOW it is filled with past emotion and "baggage" but perhaps now is the time to make it impotent. Banning it in entertainment will never do that.

I don't think that the entertainment world will ever stop using the word "***" or anyone else for that matter, there is a thing called free speech if they have not forgotten, I have never used the word towards or about anyone, nor will I ever, I will say that if someone were to try to ban such a word "by law" you might just as well shred the "The Constitution"

Can anyone answer a question that has been nagging me for many years? WHY, is it OK for the black population to call themselves the "n-word" without anybody protesting?
