FCC considering banning Redskins name

[dead0man]

But, if you regulate the f-word and the n-word, the racial slur "redskin" could easily fall into that category.

Does the FCC actually ban the use of the n-word?  I've definitely seen it used on cable networks, but don't remember hearing it used on any of the broadcast networks since the 80s.  But I assumed that was just self-censorship.

Are there any other ethnic slurs (as opposed to swear words like f--k and s--t) banned by the FCC?

I know for a fact that Weezie said "n please" several times on The Jeffersons (always to George and always with a huge positive reaction from the live crowd) and I'm fairly certain it was used on Good Times and All in the Family as well.

I don't want to ban the word from usage on television, I want to ban it from usage anywhere, in any context.

wow....you can stop changing your politics, you're certainly in the right party now.

I don't disagree with any of that....my issue with you wanting to entirely ban a word from use.  THAT's the crazy part, and right inline with Dem thinking.

Isn't it the GOP that wants to ban the word "gay" in schools?

I wouldn't know, but probably.  Both sides enjoy calling for the banning of things they don't like.... or at least certain people from both sides.
