re: Louisiana teacher draws outrage after using n-word to describe neighborhood on Facebook

She is 64.

So she was 13 in 1970, it wasnt an acceptable word even then. She knew better and if she gets fired its her own fault.

My grandmother was born in 1933 and knows better, I have never heard her use that word because she is not racist.

So she should know better.

Probably grew up when the PC term was nword or colored.

Nope I'm 59. The N-word was uttered by our grandparents without a second thought but most of our parents did not and we all knew not to do that in public places at the very least.

Just a few years ago the PC term was African American.

Still acceptable, as is black (the term from my youth).

Now we are back to the PC term being "blacks" or "people of color".

People of color is typically used as an inclusive term for non whites rather than just black folks.

At this rate in a few years the left will have convinced us that nword is now the PC term.

Not gonna happen.
