We grew up with people saying Negro, except the people who said THE N WORD, and the people who sort of stumbled over the N to get from the latter to the former...like a child training himself to say Mom/Dad, rather than Mommy/Daddy.

Then Negro became wrong, and black became right and people-not-all trained themselves again, though many then struggled over the B.

I couldn't go through it again, you know? Not to mention no one calls me an Irish Catholic American in Recovery...at least not to my face.
Cheap maybe if you looked you would notice that Eric is not here tonight. Not yet anyway. So as Al Haig said when Reagan got shot: "Eman is in charge right now here at Political Groove."

If you grew up with the changes you refer to then you certainly also grew up with an awful lot of other terms for the Irish besides Irish Catholic!

You wouldn't want us all to resort to those terms just because they are what we grew up with ----- would you?

I disagree! Archie Bunker was so ignorant he was funny!

No redeaming feature for a former Repuke presidential candidate who thinks like this.

Nothing funny about that.
