SILLY LESBIAN: This Chick Says the ‘I-Word’ Is The New ‘N-Word’, Ergo Ban The ‘I Word’
Here’s the thought police in full ‘ban’ mode again. Whatever they don’t like they somehow link it to slavery and then demand it be banned. Check this chucklehead out, Clashers …
Saying “illegal immigrants” to describe immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally is a putdown on par with the n-word, according to progressive CNN columnist Sally Kohn.
In fact, she calls it “the i-word.”
In a recent op-ed for the news site, Kohn makes her case that calling someone by that moniker, or the even worse “illegals,” is the same thing.
From her column:
During the civil rights era, Alabama Gov. George Wallace was asked by a supporter why he was fixated on the politics of race. Wallace replied, ‘You know, I tried to talk about good roads and good schools and all these things that have been part of my career, and nobody listened. And then I began talking about n*ggers, and they stomped the floor.’
In the 1980s, during the rise of the gay rights movement, North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms accused a political opponent for supporting ‘f*ggots, perverts [and] sexual deviates of this nation.’
Today, opponents of immigration reform attack undocumented immigrants as ‘illegal immigrants.’ Even worse, like anti-immigration extremists, some prominent elected officials use the term ‘illegals.’ Maine Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican, said, ‘I urge all Mainers to tell your city councilors and selectmen to stop handing out your money to illegals.’
Not the same thing? Of course it is.”
