Chuck Norris Speaks Out on the "N-Word"



Chuck Norris, in the Human Events article, "What the Bleep?!" has some choice words to say about blacks who indiscriminately use the "N-Word." Here are two paragraphs, but I recommend you read the whole thing.

Jesse Jackson (on an off-air mic before "Fox & Friends") and Whoopi Goldberg (and another host on "The View") have raised the cultural language debate to a new level: Who has the right to say the N-word? Their answer: Blacks can, but whites can't. Unfortunately, this derogatory debate has degraded into Don Imus on steroids....

This is more than a race issue and far more than a debate over freedom of speech. When will we learn that just because we can say something doesn't mean that we should? Once again, we're confusing liberty for licentiousness. It is a classic example of what happens when a society leaves its moral absolutes: Everything becomes culturally relative, with each deciding what's right in his own eyes. Language is one more infected arena in America's societal degradation.

UPDATE: What uncanny timing! Arkansas is obliged to perform a product recall on hundreds of offending license plates (see illustration below):
