I once wrote a comment in the Independent (online edition) and one of their Gestapo agents working the press was offended that I used the word "negro" is a comment that I posted. I thought that the word was outdated, but there are a lots of blacks that don't find the word offensive, at least the one's I asked, and at least the ones in John Grisham's novels. In Spanish, the word means "black."
The P.C. Gestapo agent said that she was going to black list me from commenting in their public forums if it happened again.
Now, the Daily Tar Heel is blacklisting me from commenting on their forums. BE NICE!
