N*****, Please!
Two very funny clips concerning the infamous N-Word:
First up, Mr. Stephen Colbert interviews Jabari Asim:
And here are Larry Wilmore and John Oliver from The Daily Show:
While I do think there's a positive side to political correctness, I also think that by now it has gone way past its original goal. You see, it's not the word that kills; it's the asshole's brain behind the words that's the problem. So, n****r, f****t, c**t and f**k are not in and of themselves bad--but racists, homophobes, mysogynists and biggots are just plain stupid. Obviously, the rightwing bullshit mindset doesn't go away just because society avoids a certain kind of language. Rather, those people now say, "Wait, I don't use the n-word, so I'm not a racist!" Which is exactly why every time somebody more or less important does use one of those forbidden expressions in public, there's a meta-debate not about the problem as such, but about language. It's a diversion from the real problem, it's childish, and it doesn't help.
So fuck those racists, and fuck those fagotty PC cunts, too, nigga!

The first few minutes of the Colbert clip are pure genius. The rest is good, too, but those first few minutes shine.
