Banning Words Is Impossible





[From article]
Cuomo charged that Bundy’s remarks were the opposite of King’s peace-loving message, which provoked the rancher to concede that his wording may have been poorly chosen. “Maybe I sinned and maybe I need to ask forgiveness and maybe I don’t know what I actually said,” he said. “But you know when you talk about prejudice, we’re talking about not being able to exercise what we think and our feelings. We don’t have freedom to say what we want.”
“If I say ‘negro’ or ‘black boy’ or ‘slave,’ if those people cannot take those kind of words and not be offensive, then Martin Luther King hasn’t got his job done yet,” he continued. “I should be able to say those things and they shouldn’t offend anybody. I didn’t mean to offend them.”
