Tatum Report: CBC Ottawa has compiled a new list of words that were analyzed by “anti-racism and language experts.” Those compiling the list noted that you’re not automatically a bad person if you use these words. The CBC experts said, “Racist etymologies are not obvious in most cases.”
Joseph Smith, one of the anti-racist trainers, explained:
“The terms are not all negative, but some terms like “blackmail” and “blacklist” use black in a negative way that lowers the status of black people. “[It] connotes evil, distrust, lack of intelligence, ignorance, a lack beauty — the absence of white.”
The problematic terms listed in the article include Ghetto, blackmail gypped, powwow, crippled, blind spot, first-world problem, lame, spirit animal, grandfathered in, tone-deaf, black sheep, tribe, spooky, savage, and to sell someone down the river. more
What if we just called them negros like we used to and then the word black can be free again? Eh?
Wait, don’t change lanes!! There is a vehicle in the position where you cannot see them in your rear-view mirror! Yup, that will cut down on accidents
Oh Canada. STFU!
Thank You.
The year is 1969 in a white bread suburb of Toronto.
First year High school,grade nine,his name was Nigel,first black kid any of us went to school with.
We were tripping over ourselves to make friends with the young man.He was a nice guy and we became friends, there was never any discussion of race or colour between us.
What went wrong since then.
I could tell you but would probably get in shit for it.
I’m thinking the term “electric bugaloo” may cause Canadian heads to explode for no good reason whatsoever.
Sigh…why is it that every single Canadian I know who has moved to the United States can’t wait to tell you how ****ed up it is here? I swear, every single one. Don’t like it here? Get the hell out!
The CBC is the (fully paid for and owned) propaganda wing of the Canadian Government.
There is no end to the dumbassery, (not on the list, yet).
CRT only breeds more racism.
Only point out the differences, not peoples similarities.
Threaten my children and I will come for you.
Independent of race, gender, or creed.
Blackmail and Blacklist are now referred to as African-American mail and African-American list. Got it you racists?
They forgot one:
CBC.
I think all this Black Friday crap needs to end, it just sounds bad. Blackmail is okay, I’ve used it a time or two. Black list is okay by me, I’ve got a few on my black list – they’re all white too! 🙂
Ghetto, huh? Maybe we should ask all those white Jews from that World War two thing just how anti- black that term is.
Blacklist, mail, DO connote evil, but not because of skin pigmentation of any kind. It’s a silly argument.
Offensive words are only offensive to those that are willing to be offended by them.
The word ‘black’ is no more offensive than the word ‘white’, except in the mind of some ignorant that wishes it to be so.
If we use science….black is the absence of color where white is the result of ALL colors combined.
Those that wish to play with words, twist them and redefine them are the TRUE trouble makers.
The government and the SJWs need to STFU, stay out of the way and tend to their OWN damn business.
Is it possible that all of this rewriting of the English language is to get us all to speak ebonics? Or would that be cultural appropriation?
Is “Hood Rat” or “ Gangsta” on the list? “NWA” ?
What a bunch of idiots! Using the word black in it’s correct context makes black people feel bad? When I want to offend someone I just call them an idiot!
Leftists have a 3 yr old’s mentality.
And I get the shit sent to my TV by government mandate!
Ain’t i lucky.
Do they know that Canadia is a 6-letter word?
@jellybean: “black is the absence of color where white is the result of ALL colors combined.”
Heh! Therefore Caucasians should be referred to as Colored, and Negros should be Uncolored.
I like it! (-:
I’m waiting for them to come after artist oil paint colors. Lamp Black, Mars Black- and Ivory Black- the most oppressive of them all.
Did it include the word Canucks? Icebacks? Hosers? Puckheads? Trudeau?
Apple Corp announced that it’s removing terms like “Master/Slave” and “Blacklisting” in its internal documentation. They’ve also tasked their lobbyists in Washington, DC to lobby against a bill that would block importation of goods manufactured by forced labor, like many Apple products likely are. That is woke capitalism in a nutshell… Get monstrously rich off of slavery, but ban any words that may remind people of it.
Fiddy-cent?
Ax a question?
I guess the term “blackhead” is way over the line.
I guess niggard and niggardly are already long forgotten now.
And here’s another reason to ban those icky racist guns: Pickatinny rails. That’s another one that just too close!
The CBC banned Money For Nothing by Dire Straights years ago. “Little faggot’s got his own jet airplane, little faggot is a millionaire.”
Funny how they didn’t mention that pedo Joe Biden is also a long-time known race supremacist who often made racial slurs and language against those non-white groups he hates.
How arrogant is that, when its automatically assumed that when “Black” is used, you’re talking about “Those people”?
