Cookie read a post about the "Death of the N-word"-???
What is with these people that if they don't LIKE a word in the ENGLISH language, if they don't KNOW a word in the ENGLISH language--they want to abolish it or they make up one!
Are we going to have a "death" of Honky, Redneck, Klansman, Naxi, Whitey, Spook, Casper, Booby lips, --????
Already--they have it classified as a "profane" word--
The N-word is, & always has been, just a slurring of the word NEGRO.
Is NEGRO a offensive word?
It never was--until someone got "uppity" & insisted on "black"??
They use it more themselves, than others use it!
Get REAL---if it is offensive, & someone calls you that, & YOU FEEL YOU ARE NOT THAT---then tell them!
If you didn't have a "complex" about it, you wouldn't worry about it!
Cookie don't think that you should refer to ANYONE negatively, because of race or religion,
but "I" cannot change the language--
Cookie will use "whatever word" describes the situation--
"YOU" should not be able to "change" the language--
I cannot stop people from "thinking" that--
so why worry about it?
You can "eliminate" a word (till the cows come home)--but if someone wants to use it, they will--?
I was always appalled at how frequently people use the son-of- a-bith term, that people rarely think that it is making reference to your mother-who didn't do anything!!??
Cookie thinks "someone" has a problem--??

The cookie monster-- is a person in the twilight of my career, who believes in speaking the truth, as I see it, regardless of the consequences. It is not the "best thing sometimes" to do, but only in addressing problems, can we change them! I have lived in multiple societies, played every game, and been a success in almost every venture I have entered. I've endured many trials, which gives me a unique ability to have an intelligent opinion on diverse subjects. I am cautious of schemes developed by others. I am not perfect, or judgemental. I do NOT want to appear to be a "Know-it all" I am a devout Christian who early in life developed a "path with God", have stayed on the same path and devotion throughout my life. I don't blog for popularity. I blog in hopes "I" can learn something--in hopes I can help someone else--& address the serious side of life.
