1. Only Stewart makes me laugh so hard while feeling ashamed at the same time.

:rofl:

2. Humor can cut with a very sharp edge.

3. there is still "nigger cape" "cape nègre" here in the var where i live

and the right wing president sarkozy goes on vacation on cap nègre.... just like there are still cakes called "niggerheads" "tête de nègre" sold in some bakeries. i changed bakeries due to this as no bakery that sells such a named cake will ever get another euro of my money.

not changing the names of these places and cakes in france is a national embarrasment.

4. You're equating different names to the same slur.

Do you really think that's fair?

PC gone too far.

[reggie the dog]

5. i think the names should be changed

they come from a time when racism was socially acceptable.

[DCKit]

6. Some of those names simply indicate "black"...

Are we afraid of a (lack of) color now? Should we change the the language of several countries to re-define the word? You've gone too far.


Too far.

7. too far because i think it is poor taste to use the word nigger to mean

black?????? why not just call it black cape then???

8. "PC gone too far"?

Really? You think objecting to using the n-word for pastries and geographic features is PC gone too far?

[DCKit]

9. If foreign words that translate to "black" offend you, then I'm just sorry for you.

Stay away from Hawaii. They have black sand beaches for miles and miles. Simply visiting there will likely give you a heart attack.

Sometimes nature just has no consideration for our delicate natures.

10. nègre doesn't translate to black

Noir(e) is black in french.

[Gormy Cuss]

11. It's specifically a term describing racial blackness.

If the Hawaiian beaches were called Negro sand beaches you may have had a point.
