New York Bans "Nigger"?

On February 28 New York City banned the use of the word "nigger" claiming that it is one of the most hateful words in the English language.

While there is no actual punishment for using the word, the idea was that musicians and comedians would take the initiative and stop using the word.

Say what you want about the word.

You can never say it.
You can say it with hatred
You can drop the "r".

It doesn't really matter.

What's important here is that New York City just banned a word.

A word.

I'm glad City Hall in the Big Apple has so much stuff to do.
