A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
What was the message given to the little fourth grade black boy who was offended by the teaching of the word "niggardly"?
(a) Even though you were mistaken in being offended, your class-induced, self-perceived, sense of inferiority can be transmuted into power and attention by citing victimhood, rather than striving in a white man's game that is already rigged.
(b) Words like "niggardly", very much too close to the offensive word "nigger", are taboo in the enlightened brave new world of today.
