The Counterfeit News Network is an embarrassment. It emits intellectual pollution that poisons your brain cells.
The latest example?
The network now wants to ban so-called racist language. What could it be? Master bedroom. Blacklist. Whitelist.
Huh?
From The Daily Wire:
CNN is now joining Twitter in calling for the removal of allegedly racist words and phrases in the English language. CNN’s list, however, includes many terms that have no connection to slavery, yet the news outlet suggests removing them from everyday use.
For example, the first item in CNN’s article about allegedly racist terms is “master bedrooms/bathrooms,” yet it admits that the phrase first appeared in 1926 – more than 60 years after slavery was abolished in the U.S. Further, the term wasn’t widely used until after World War II. CNN acknowledges that even though “it’s unclear whether the term is rooted in American slavery on plantations, it evokes that history.”
The outlet does the same thing for the Masters Tournament, a golf tournament for “masters” – meaning, the best players in the sport. The name originated in 1934, long after slavery was abolished, and was adopted in 1939.
“The name appears to have been a reference to golfers with great skills, but its connotations have brought the name under scrutiny,” CNN reported. Apparently, the mere word “master” is no longer allowed to be used.
CNN, like Twitter, called for an end to the terms blacklist and whitelist, which are used in the tech industry to refer to things that are blocked versus allowed. “Though the origins of those terms don’t appear to be directly connected to race, some argue that they reinforce notions that black=bad and white=good,” the outlet reported.
Oh, CNN. Let’s hope you never go bankrupt or close down your network. You’re just too funny. You’re beyond parody at this point.
Never have I heard of such insane PC BS! Shame….poor little babies have teeny weeny feelings hurt! If only the Blacks got over their inferiority complex and adjusted to the world around them instead of trying to adjust the world to suit them…the better off they will be! Respect and acceptance in society is earned, not demanded!! It;s high time that CNN returned to their original mission….That is, reporting, not imposing their own opinions! Reporting is supposed to be neutral but they are certainly not!
