How do you feel about the new changes to nursery rhymes etc due to them being racist/offensive?

its retarted... i dont mean to offend anyone here... but this is my opinion.\n\nfirst of all... i think its ok to say black sheep on tv. if people interpret it differently thats they own dam luck... they shouldnt watch the dam show.\n\nsecond of all... tv censorship is getting out of control... children hear stuff on  the streets and at home (faul language). there is no need to censor certain words.\n\npeople change things because they are afraid of getting sued or something like that. racism or anything should not be the answer to everything. otherwise i could walk down the road and see a sign in a shop that says "sizzling sausages on sale here". i could interpret it as sexual.\n\nin the longrun its all bullshit. unless its something real not like a black sheap, it should be left alone. i mean come on, get real !

Singling people out no matter what the race, creed or color is wrong. I'm disappointed to hear that this happened especially on the elementary school level. It perhaps sent out a message, but one we are trying to avoid. As my school prepared for a MLK Day celebration one elequent speaker came to our school and said the following:\n\n(Yes, I'm paraphrasing)\n\n "In our day and age, I feel that sometimes people of my own race are bringing judgements upon themselves unnecessarily. They preach of equality, but when given the rights, want more. Yes, we cannot deny the treatment of Blacks was unacceptable. But must we dwell on the past instead of embracing the future? If we seek equality, why do we draw attention upon ourselves? Why have a "Black History Month?" Is there a "White History Month?" We are asking not to be set "a part." Yes we insist on our own month to celebrate our fine figures from the past? Shouldn't EVERY day of every month be a celebration of what these fine people did? We should live by their words, not force their word."\n\nI think what the world needs is to accept that we are more open-minded than we were 30-40 years ago. Sure, we have pockets of our population that will never be. But the change has been immense. Thank God! This speakers words spoken so elequently made so much sense to all those in that room that day. I think it brought the school together with a "sigh" of relief. All races realized we were working together.....no one is set apart. There is no need to favor a soul in our world today. We all prove who we are by being.....who we are. \n\nThank you for sharing the poem. My hope is that schools such as this, ideals such as this, practices such as this will so very soon be a thing of the distant past.

I don't like it's origins (not the root of the word, but the hateful use of the word) but the fact is, it's meaning has changed over time, I'm not offended if I hear it used in a friendly way "What's my nigga?" sort of thing (though I think it's a little awkward when said by a white person to a white person.  It's such a touchy subject because many people find it offensive, for good reason.  As for me, I'm only offended if it is used as racially condecending.

It already has.  It's nearly impossible to keep up with all the terms and changes,  and some people are just plain offended by politically correct terms.  We are self-segregating without being derogatory, creating categories to put people in based on differences.

I hate racists, having a black wife I've experienced it.\n\nGood thing in the future all races will be mixed and this "racial purity" crap will be gone.\n\nBtw I support amnesty for illegals, they are just people who want better lives'.

Hell, I thought it was all this time!\n\nOf course, the idiots have already came out and started to throw around the "R" word (racist).  Bunch of damn fools!

Not funny sorry. Re-enforces the whole small minded Scots/anti English stereotype. A racist joke is a racist joke. This is no better than Bernard Manning. Better to say "ah but wait to see the weather they are going to get".

Yup, I'm very sick of it! I'm sorry people have assumed you are racist just due to your background.  What I hate is when people get away with being "counter-racist" because they are a "person of color".  That really gets to me!\n\nSomeone brought up having a white history month, Personally I'm for getting rid of Black History month.  For one I feel that all history should be studied all year long, not separated or each race should have it's own history month (which in my mind would be pointless and segregating).\n\nSomeone else mentioned, that Blacks have been taught "you are the enemy".  That's nonsense, and if it's not just as many whites have been taught "blacks are the enemy"  and why does it always come back to back and white?  Any race can and does experiance racism!

If nothing offensive could be heard out in public, we would not have half of the music on the market today. I find abortion offensive, should that make it against the law? How about fat people in bikini's where does it end? We have to many stupid laws already.
