Next I suppose Monopoly will remove the jail because it oppresses black people.
quote:
The CEO of the association, John Chew, has been making the rounds with media outlets to explain the “necessity to take action on issues of diversity and inclusivity” as Chew wrote in a letter to association members.
Chew, however, has not revealed the list of banned words with the exception of the N-word.

How do you remove words? The only way to change scrabble is to remove letters.

Revelation 13:17 King James Version (KJV)
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Yes, I even love that we have racists in the game. It says so much about the power of our game and our community that even racists – not just the hardcore ones that actively spread their toxic hatred, but the softer ones who stand by rather then get involved, who say “I’m not offended, why should they be?” or “If you can’t accept that the words have no meaning, you’re not welcome,” or “If I’m not offended, why should you be?” – can set aside their deep-seated beliefs to spend time playing a board game with people who do not share those beliefs.
So Scrabble is happy to have racist customers.

It's just on faith and trust....you have to do the right thing and not use them words. I don't care if it's triple word score, just be virtuous. Which "virtuous" itself would be a very good triple word score.

So what happens if me and a friend are playing Scrabble and use one of these banned words?
Posted on 7/12/20 at 10:04 am to MrLarson
More troublesome is the fact that the official game dictionary has ZERO Ebonic word spellings.
Racist hypocrites don't want Black people to have an even chance in the game.
A level playing field should be demanded.

Wokeness = Marxism
Exactly this! When we regulate words, terms, etc...it flies in the face of freedom and liberty. Are some words and terms hurtful to others? Sure. But demanding by mob action and eventually governmental regulation against so called offensive language is clearly rooted in a freedom restrictive form of governance and way of life such as Marxism.

Empty virtue signalling is one sure sign of a dem dancing chicken.

According to the CEO, I am racist, not because I actually have racist beliefs, but because I choose not to take action. I’m a “soft racist” now.

It's the whole "anti-racist" ideology these lunatics are espousing. Pure Marxist garbage.
