Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Parker/Woolbright: Give That Nigger Ham
No, "Coloured man ", or some other phrase would be euphemisisng. On the other hand N**ger would be saying Nigger in a way that you and I can read quite unambiguously but which a machine might not. You say we could argue this forever but never do; you always divert it into a discussion of sanitising songs or threads, of moral/religious attitudes what kindof language is acceptable and what not.

None of the posters above have suggested euphemising lyrics/ title, neither did they raise espousal of this language, either yours or theirs.

Still, as long as you and our Guest are happy, what does it matter if you exclude regular members from even opening the home page.
