So they are crediting black LBGTLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ of coming up with most of the “cool” words white people are stealing. Well as a natural born woman, I’m accusing them of Female Appropriation! Laughing

Gender appropriation. Wow, imagine the head explosions if someone were to make that counter accusation. 

I simply don't understand the point of the article. Are white heteros supposed to follow any use of black slang with immediate attribution? Or perhaps carry a note from a trusted black person (extra acceptance if they're LGBTQ) which states they're allowed to use their slang. Or should white heteros simply avoid using the language and then be accused of being non-inclusive?

This woke dreck is eating itself alive.

"Last month, "Saturday Night Live" aired a skit written by Michael Che titled "Gen Z Hospital" where the premise was to mock words like "bestie," "sis" and "bruh" and attributed the terms as Gen Z language."

Apparently those are black language words. 

I've heard and used the words bestie and sis since I learned how to talk and associate them with my sister and my best friend. So now you're telling me these are black language words and I'm appropriating black language and not respecting black people if I use them? Or is this a social media/public platform issue and I can say what I want in my private conversations?

That’s a white social construct to steal black culture.

It'll be interesting to see if the MSM picks up on this. They probably won't. But if they do, they'll contend Nina Simone's granddaughter is racist, or something.

More hypocrisy from the left. Does anyone doubt if this were a Republican there would be a hue and cry for his resignation?

When I was young, my parents, who were die-hard liberal Democrats, belonged to an all-white country club.  I used to give them all sorts of [BLEEP] about it.

Idiocracy in living color. I have no desire to watch the Olympics this year. Not that I can anyway since NBC is the one network channel we can't ever seem to get with our fancy digital antenna. I completely disagree with the IOC allowing transgender athletes to compete. It pretty much gives the rest of the athletes nothing to compete for because who wants to compete for second place?

Because they don't cross at the corner? Because 20-something black males in old Police Interceptor Crown Vics are the worst drivers in the whole country?

Massachusetts' Brandeis University lists 'policeman,' 'congressman' on 'oppressive' language list | Fox News

"Policeman," "congressman" and even the gender-neutral descriptor "freshman" have been deemed "oppressive" at Massachusetts’ Brandeis University, a small, elite private school in Waltham, because they are "gender exclusive." 

If there’s a campus barbershop, it shouldn’t be talking any "walk-in" appointments, as the term has been deemed "ableist."

Brandeis’ Prevention, Advocacy and Resource Center is described on the school’s website as a resource for students impacted by violence, sexual assault or stalking.

But you might say the PARC’s "oppressive language list" is "killing it" in the push for progressive limitations on speech – except you can’t, because "if someone is doing well, we don’t need to equate that to murder!"

Instead, say "Great job!" or "Awesome!" 

As a rule of thumb, you shouldn’t say "rule of thumb."

"This expression comes from an old British law allowing men to beat their wives with sticks no wider than their thumb," PARC’s list explains.

Say "general rule" instead.

Even the woke language of yesteryear has become problematic.

The school suggests moving beyond the term "trigger warning," because it can be connected to violence, the same as calling someone who has experienced trauma a "victim" or "survivor."

"Picnic" is also taboo, according to the PARC.

"The term picnic is often associated with lynchings of Black people in the United States, during which White spectators were said to have watched while eating, referring to them as picnics or other terms involving racial slurs against Black people."

"Long time no see" and "no can do" are also out – because they "originate from stereotypes making fun of non-native English speakers, particularly applied to indigenous people and Asians."

The PARC also urges people to avoid talking about powwows or spirit animals, as those have been deemed culturally appropriative and their use in casual speech "erases" or "strips" the terms of their "significance."

Folks should also be wary of their regional dialects, because "you guys" is oppressive, but "y’all" is not.

Fox News reached out to several school officials, including the PARC director, but did not immediately receive a response.
