NYC Votes For PERMANENT MORATORIUM On The N-Word

"The city council is set to approve a permanent moratorium tomorrow on the use of the N-word in New York City.

The resolution will have no legal weight or enforcement power, but will merely convey the legislative body's strong condemnation of the word - no matter who says it or how it's used.

"The N-word is a friend of hate, a friend of slavery, a friend of segregation and a friend of discrimination," Roy Miller, a lawyer from Atlanta, said at a hearing yesterday held by the Council's Civil Rights Committee.

The committee passed the resolution by a 5-to-0 vote."

What word do you think they'll ban next? If nigger is a no-no, how's about honky? Beg pardon? Not that I've entered in the dreaded n-word this means I'm banned in NYC?

Cool.
