"Demeans slaves" apparently.

I want to figure out some sort of bingo game or drinking game that is centered on what terms and words are now considered offensive.

I'd suggest taking a shot anytime some SJW calls "microagression!", but I don't want to die of alcohol poisoning.

I got confused when you mentioned alcohol poisoning, until I realized that you meant a shot of booze, not a shot at the SJW.

Well done. :rofl:
-
And for extra bonus points, I made that reply, flipped over to my FB and was accused of making a microagggression in a comment I made. Awesomesauce!

At least one campus has declared the term "politically correct" to be offensive. The term, not the idea. That's like paradox wrapped in irony.
-
It's funny to me that everyone seems to assume that only slaves pick cotton. On the video I saw, she didn't mention slavery or race.
-
“ want us to be super careful when we use the language ‘hard worker,’” she cautioned. “Because I actually keep an image of folks working in cotton fields on my office wall, because it is a reminder about what hard work looks like.”
What about the mom who works a job before going to school, and another after her kid(s) go to bed, so she can qualify for a better job and buy her own damn Xmas presents for her kids instead of relying on charity?
Or my buddy's dad who worked 16 hours a day for 35 years so his kids could go to college and get jobs that required they use their minds instead of their hands?
Or the person in the sheltered workshop struggling to remember how to put Tab A into Slot B as the first step to getting out of a group home and into their own place?
Or ....
MSNBC. Mighty Stupid Nattering Blithering [as used by the Brits as opposed to American slang].
stay safe.

My father picked cotton as a kid. He showed me one of their old cotton sacks- the strap was tied up so a child could use it.
Some things have improved, fortunately.
-
My cotton-pickin' mother, too.

It's not nearly as offensive as my reply were someone foolish enough to say that to my face.

Because no one should actually have to do productive work... right?
Free bread and circuses my pretties! Fly!!! Fly!!!!
-
Can anyone point out to me where there exists in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the other Amendments, any statute (federal or state) which gives anyone a right to not be offended? I am so sick of this crap. Our court administrator has asked us to stop using certain terms...criminal, thief, addict...There's a list I threw in the trash....because they offend people in hearings and he got complaints from some people, including family of some offenders facing charges. Crap! Commit a crime, you're a criminal. Steal, you're a thief. It's crap, and it's getting beyond stupid.
-
It's crap, and it's getting beyond stupid.
I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been a backlash from most segments of society to end this nonsense. I would have expected that to happen at least several years ago, but this crap only keeps getting worse and worse. It's beyond what I would expect even most progressives would put up with, but I guess I'm wrong, because they're still putting up with it, if not outright embracing it.
I want one of those shirts from Bedlamite's link. I think ridicule is the best defense outside of ignoring them.

Irony:
Offenders complaining they are offended.

The problem is not that the semi reasonable progressives are embracing it. The problem is that the ones that would fight it have been scared silent. They don't like it, but they have no clue how to fight the backlash when they get caught in the trap.

People like that don't get fired, they get promoted.

Apparently "too" is also offensive.
I'm sorry, but it requires me to be too much of a hard worker to avoid offending these politically correct morons.
-
Lazy people will go to all sorts of efforts to avoid work.
This just underscores that all these BS political and social movements are just scam artists looking for a way to get money.
-
“I am taking a vow to ban the word too from my vocabulary.”
Me too.
-
It would be too hard for me to work at not using "too" too much. I too am too lazy and too uncaring to be politically correct.
-
2015 the year everyone got offended by everything. :facepalm:

Use your imagination

Well, I'm drunk...

Use your imagination
Can I use BSL's imagination instead? Hers is more entertaining....
-
I make no effort to not offend people.
Q: If I say Ron Jeremy is a hard worker, is that still somehow racially offensive?
A: I completely ran out of *expletive deleted*s to give.

You wouldn't be able to handle it. Your brain would be mush in under five minutes.

Try and keep some modicum of decency in the discussion and this is what you run up against. :facepalm:
Let's try again, shall we?

Not really.....

Wow, this again. I think it was OCP where the HR folks said you couldn't use "hard worker" in performance reviews for whatever stupid reason I forget. "Bias for Action" was the acceptable phrase.
It then became a contest amongst us managers.
"His hard bias for action works to make...."
"She works hard on improving her bias for action..."
"His action for work is biased in accomplishing hard tasks...."
etc. IIRC, the rule was that all four words had to appear in the same sentence. Also, every Group Leader had to have "it" at least once in their performance review. The more stilted the phrasing the better.
I do remember one of the other managers passing around a comic drawing of "Bias" running "for" the office of "Action." Vote Early and Vote Often.
Yeah, I had forgotten about that meeting we all had with Charlie. Another were he sat at his desk with his head in his hands.

You can't say "Charlie" anymore. It's racist. :P

Can I lift my nose in the air and say "Charles" in a mock British accent?

I think that's still okay. For now...
