To publish, or not to publish? Overt racism published

[CDNBear]

So, should they have published it?

Yes.

Does it spark a useful conversation?

Yes.

Or is it shock value only?

No, because of your use of the word "only".

Would you publish it?

Yes.

The difference in censorship is probably due to the difference in the historical treatment of said racial groups, in the country publishing, thus censoring, the article.

Say what you want, but none of the others have faced quite the history that 'the n word' has.

It's really the context and the tone of voice that makes a word insulting and demeaning...but now political correctness has made the word taboo.......as if in conversation you say..." he called him the "N" word".....thinking that saying ****** in that context is further victimizing the race.......

Sal, I edited the Poll and removed your accidental 'No'. You should be able to vote again. Let me know if it worked.

No Shadow it did not work. I am now wondering if the "no" that was there was in fact not my "no" but someone else's vote. Unfortunately these polls do not show who has voted or how.
