Dave Daubenmire Complains That He Can't Say The N-Word

[Initech]

On his “Pass The Salt Live” webcast on Friday, Religious Right activist Dave Daubenmire complained that people can call him “diminutive” or “fat” but that he can’t call a black person the N-word, asserting that the former are far more offensive than the latter.

“I shouldn’t even have to worry about what I say for fear that I’m going to offend somebody racially,” Daubenmire complained. “What a bunch of crap that is.”

“They call it ‘the N-word,'” he continued. “Have you ever heard of anything more stupid than that? The N-word? What is the N-word? Well, the N-word is where they call somebody nigger.”

Daubenmire then proceeded to look up the word “niggardly” in a version of the dictionary from 1828, as well as the word “nigger.” When the latter was not found, Daubenmire wrongly concluded not that the word was simply not included in that dictionary but that the word did not exist at that time and is, instead, a recent creation coined for some sort of nefarious purpose.

“Do you see what they’ve done to us with words?” he asked. “I wonder where that came from? I wonder who’s idea that was? Jiminy criminy.”

11. You took the words right out of my mouth

Go ahead and use it all you want. You are so tough, go ahead and say it to every black guy you see out in public. let me know how it works out for you.

4. Jesus made him do it.

[Pope George Ringo II]

6. Truly.

Has history ever seen a more oppressed group than xian white males in America today? They're facing bitter discrimination at every turn.

7. Would he be offended if some stranger walked up to

him and told him, "I want to f#@% your daughter. I heard she gives good head, too." Does he not understand that words hurt, that communication based on immorality, like bigotry, hurt? Or incense? Or offend?

8. His ignorance is boundless.

And I suppose he wrongly assumes that the word "niggardly" is connected to the word he's not allowed to say. Oh, and the word he can't say has been around as a slur since at least the time of the American Revolution.
