"Words only have as much power as the listener bestows on them." – PIG Wisdom

The following is a list of words and terms that could land you in the P.C. hotseat. In order to avoid any conflicts regarding these words, we at PIG have taken the time to present the definitions and context of these words. Unless your intent was to use these words as weapons, and we know you wouldn't, we highly recommend you download a copy, and keep in your wallet. PIG disavows any knowledge of any alternative meanings to these words or phrases. If, in fact they do exist, that would be news to us. As the Boy Scouts say: Be Prepared!

The term/word nigger has a long and ugly history in this country, and has virtually vanished from the vocabularies of all but two groups of people, more or less.

The first group would be out-and-out bigots (of any color) whose use of the word betrays a racist bent. No crime is committed, since the First Amendment free speech provision also includes racist morons, properly-hyphenated and unhyphenated alike. PIG believes that bigots - anyone who classifies individuals based on immutable characteristics - are mired in group-think. Any regular PIG reader who hasn't been body-slammed by our opinion of group-think hasn't been paying attention.

The second group that uses the term is the very group it is meant to insult...blacks themselves. That's right. black entertainers, rappers, sports figures all seem enjoy a free pass when THEY use the term. In fact some use that term all the way to the bank in the case of rap stars and comedians.

Imagine, if you dare, Whitey using the same words then brace yourself for the deafening din emanating from self-appointed racial justice purveyors. Time stands still. Front page news. Heads roll, jobs lost, lawsuits filed, boycotts on the way. All the right people say all the right things, in denouncing the use of that word. Everyone acts as if it's the end of the world. But the truth is, you rarely - if ever - hear whites use the term, in public or private.

Double standards? You bet, but double standards are the bedrock on which political-correctness is constructed. Some of us, here in the PIG empire, suspect that this increased use of nigger by so many blacks is an attempt to lure unsuspecting whites to their doom. The idea is to make dumber than a pet rock Whitey think the so-called "n-word" is now, okey-dokey. The minute he swallows that bait, wham, he's a racist asshole. Paranoid? Perhaps, but don't blame PIG when it happens to you.

If it weren't for the gansta elements, the word nigger would almost be non-exsistant. Who, exactly, is responsible for the extended life of the word nigger? It can't be John Q. Whitey. Memo to all you civil-rights squawkers: If this one word is all that keeps "your people" down, you ought to be policing your side of the street before attempting to clean up everyone else's.

The bottom line, little Piggies, is this: if someone ever accuses you of being racist for nuking them with an "N-Bomb", just say you heard black comedian Chris Rock utter these profound words: "Nobody hates niggers more than black people".

Amen brother
