Words that must never be spoken

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Goes without saying, top ‘o the list has got to go to the much-feared “N-word.”

Look what happened to Wendy Mesley. She used to be a marquis name at the CBC. I had the misfortune of reading her weepy apologia in the Globe and Mail the other day. Seems a couple of highly-educated Black professionals were struck down with PTSD when they heard Mesley say you-know-what instead of “N-word” at a team meeting.
I guess I’ll never have a political career, because if someone were to comb through my 6000+ posts, they’d discover oh, maybe a dozen or so actual N-words. Like Mesley, I never used the word with malice, but that doesn’t matter anymore.
Also like Mesley, I don’t consider myself a white supremacist, although today denial is largely considered a proof. The kind of Black people struck down by PTSD at the sound of the N-word strike me as the kind of people who wallow in the turgid pool of micro-aggressions.
Wonder what Alvin Ailey would have to say about micro-aggressions? Wonder how many of the recently woke even recognize that name?
According to the CBC, the “S-word” has joined the list of words that must never be spoken. 
Squaw.
An intrepid CBC reporter found a few Indigenous females who were totally crushed when some racist redneck referred to them with the S-word. The Indigenous cohort referenced in the story skewed heavily towards poets and community activists. 
The Indigenous women I know would just bust my nose and kick my ass if such idiocy ever slipped past my lips!
That strikes me as a far healthier response than a lifetime of trauma.
